The resistance measurements are confusing as your end to end total is lower than the midpoint to one end.[Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...on_eek.gif] But I'll put a pin in it for now. The rest seem ok. Is your variac fused? If so I'd give it a try and ignore the meter. But I live dangerously. It could be that your meter is missing it's shunt. That is a resistor in parallel with it to control the amount of current that flows through it. Without it the meter will read high.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
