Checked it out as you said and it reads about 34 ohms.
Bad coil?[/quot

Looks like 4 coils in cans.
How would I know which one is the culprit?
Looking at them from the bottom,looks like all wires are attached.
The windings look like they are covered with looks like bubbled shellac?
Almost looks shiny like melted solder,but I'm sure thats just the way the light hits it.
WHat do you guys think?
Thanks for the help.




New discovery,
If I touch the top lead on one of the 24 tubes it receives well.
It has 3 24 tubes.
Would this indicate that that coil is bad?
