VF-1 VFO help

Does anyone have a VF-1 that they could take a couple of pix of the inside, 
showing the placement of the 40 and 160 meter coils? Or, verify the 
placement of these two coils?
I have one that is not working and I suspect that whoever rebuilt this one 
might have switched the two coils.
(The 40 meter coil is the one with the least number of turns)
The VFO I have appears to work - proper amount of grid current on the DX-40 
and all of the voltages are correct with the exception of the 6AU6 grid 
voltage (I have -5 volts instead of -10) - BUT it does not oscillate at the 
proper frequency at any setting of the band switch.
This unit is like new on the inside and out but it appears that someone has 
rewired it using modern silver micas and Teflon wire.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated and welcome!
TIA
