Hello -
Recently acquired a 46-1226 parts chassis, thinking that I could harvest a few components for other radio projects.
Completely removed the power transformer from the chassis and began checking each set of windings for continuity, using the ohms function of my multimeter. Found the high-voltage secondary winding (I think, yellow wire to yellow wire) to be open, no continuity. All other windings tested good for continuity.
My question: Is there a need to test further, such as apply voltage to the primary and measure what I get at the high-voltage secondary winding or is the ohm/continuity check a pretty good indicator that the transformer is worthless?
