Ron, you were right to begin with.  I removed the coil entirely on one radio and sure enough the .7 ohm portion was indeed open!  I don't know what I was measuring before, but it was a fluke, no pun intended...
I also found the break.  Repaired it, and found another break closer to the ground end, so I gave up.  The wire was brittle as could be too.

Sorry to have you run a wild goose chase, but I was certain that coil was okay, and I guess the other 60 has the same problem!!  Having two of them with the same problem is no good...  Your mod above could get one by.  I am thinking I will leave it be for now.  BTW, I always call anything above the BC band "shortwave".  Just habit.  The "police" band in not worth messing with to me, so I may just leave well enough alone for now.

Thanks again and sorry for the goof on my reading the coil to begin with.

Brian

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM

Maybe this is starting to make some sense in my hard head.  Is this why the wire in question was not in the great Ron Ra...georgetownjohn — 04:34 PM
