Do you have pics of the bad coils ? The Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards book has much good information on identifying original coils.
The original coils are tar filled - I have had success rebuilding old radio transformers from the same era by heating them enough that the tar softens and things come apart. Never tried an original Model A coil, though. As Brent mentions, removing the Bakelite tip without damage could be challenging.
