Hi guys!
Success! The (outer) coil was rewound in the wrong direction. (See photo) Cruddy job they did, put the tape right over the original plastic insulator.
I not only have BC, but the SW band too. The lower part of the ant coil was open, so I did that one also.
What is really odd, some mentioned that the BC band would not receive at all, or the dial would be way off. Well, when it was backwards, the dial was very accurate, and except for the dropoff around 1300kc, seemed fine.

So the chassis is going back into it's home cabinet.
Next set.... another model 60. I did remove the Osc coil on that one, looked pretty good, except for a slight amount of "green" on one of the wires. I am going to rewind it as long as it's out.
Thanks to all again for the help.
Gary.
