Hello, I know that the topic of the Philco 38-12 oscillator coil has been discussed many times on the phorum, but I have a question I wanted to ask before I mess something up. On my oscillator coil, the primary, terminals 1 & 2, show a resistance of 2.9 ohms and the schematic shows 2.5 ohms which I know is close enough. The secondary, terminals 3 & 4, show 1.5 ohms and the schematic shows 3.5 ohms. The secondary winding looks good for the most part, but there is some green corrosion on the winding. Would this have an effect on the DC resistance and make it drop? Will the coil work as is, or will I need to rewind the secondary?
