Hi guys, I need your opinion on a continuity test. Philco 84B Power transformer: HV winding reads 419 ohms plate to plate. Plate 1 to CT is 203 ohms and plate 2 to CT is 218 ohms. Is this normal? Could they have missed the CT that far or do you think there may be a shorted winding layer on one side? Checked with two different Ohm meters, both gave same results.

It looks like that is going to introduce a pretty good ripple on the B+.

Just want to get an expert opinion before I repaint this thing.

Any help would be appreciated,

Dave
