Yes the winding is open for a good reason - the primary was fully stripped of enamel and when I started unwinding it it started fallin apart and the first three turns were in pieces, thereafter the wire held but was in poor shape.
The secondary is in good shape, the enamel is intact.
Tomorrow I will rewind it - I have the wire ever after I did that Emerson restoration.

OK, the first pancake is always scrambled as the national saying goes.
