But this coil "looks" like it's beyond that.

Thanks- glad you like it!
I wonder if it was the mice, or whether it was something else; there aren't any bite marks in the wax, so it looks more like careless handling or a scrape against a sharp edge.
I'll give the repair a try and see what happens. I think it looks worse than it is because of all the fluff that is present. If not, I may have a spare coil from a junked stereo set I can use- I've amassed quite the pile of spares over a few years; all manner of toroids, transformers, and so forth. We'll see what happens- Thanks for the link to AES.
There are two coils on the same core there... I take it one is for the oscillator, and the other is a "hum-bucking" coil?
Regarding the trimmer adjustment, what would that entail? I don't have extensive sophisticated tools on hand.
