Hi there, When you measured the resistance to ground of the spark plate was it completely disconnected from the rest of the radio?Sometimes spark plates are " in series " with other bits of the circuit and that 5 ohms may have been the vibrator resistance or one side of the vibrator transformer primary to earth.
