Anyhow I just wanted to make that clarification so as to not confuse anyone else reading along. And you guys should have called me on that one.

Thanks for the clarification.

UPDATE: My Oscillator Coil Came in the mail today and I got it installed and powered on the radio and it works!

I'll need to touch up the alignment a little bit as it is a little distorted sounding when its tuned into a station, but other than that its receiving a ton of stations and it gets really loud too!

See video link below to see a video I made of the radio in action.
