I looked at your site (thanks for the credit to me regarding the schematic!)
and I wonder why you concluded that the oscillator coil was shot.
Maybe it's obvious to you, but did you trace the connections to the
rest of the circuit to confirm that something was wrong? Good luck.

I figured as much... I'll have a look around to see what I can find locally in addition to AES; chances are a specialty electronics shop may have something.
Re Coil: There are several broken wires coming off the side (click the picture for a larger version, easier to see) and there is no continuity if I test the lower coil with a DMM.
I'm going to give Reece's suggestion a try as soon as I can get back to the project- I think it may be fixable with some care... it looks worse than it is.
