If you have no continuity on the coil then there is a broken
wire somewhere. If it is not right at the terminals of coil then
it may be somewhere buried inside the coil and it will have
to be rewound.

I think there is a web page over at the Philco Repair Bench
website that describes how to rewind those coils. You need
about 1000 ft of very fine magnet wire and alot of patience!

Someone else here on the Phorum may have more detailed
rewinding advice also.
