Dunno how to explain this.....I tried the choke again just to make sure I am not ruining a good part. Still no dice. So I extracted the rivets, cut the wires really close to the base and started heating the shell in hope the choke would slide out. It did not. But then something told me to check it again....sure enough the continuity was there and the resistance was 89.7 ohm, exactly right.
So I soldered the wires back to the lugs, the choke is still fine.....
Breakage in the wires? Why? Those are multy-thread and are not subjected to mechanical stress of any sort.
Well.... I'll take it if it lasts.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
