Exactly.

Every one I've done needed both. The first 60 I did years ago ran a few days perfectly then went silent. The osc coil winding opened. I rewound it and a week later the radio suddenly lost about 90 percent of its sensitivity. Ant coil opened.

I just rewind them automatically on every Philco that uses those coils.
