I think I have info on that here but do consider that the Aerial & Oscillator coils & the Gang were a matched set. So it might be an idea to rat a set out of an abandoned chassis.

Hi Bowler, have you read my article on building a Little General? If not its in the Special Projects section. Scroll back to around January 2017 and find "Fred Levers Little General for 2017". In this I scratch build a set and use coils from various sources. I go into what the coils have to do fairly deeply. As Marcc says finding an old superhet chassis with a set would be the way to go. That way you get coils that once worked so unless they have a fault will work again. Good to see someone wanting to build something, its the only way to learn. Cheers, Fred. https://vintage-radio.com.au/home.asp?f=12&th=43

My point well taken, is that I have a 649MA under the bench minus an IF coil and the transformers. All of that coil set & IF is compatible. Not sure of what the IF got scarpered for?
