Of the 5 pins with solder connections 4 out of five have continuity with one of the other pins but one doesn't have continuity with any of the other four but it does have continuity with one of the wires that runs through the core. I have a bad feeling about this. Unfortunately I won't have access to my workshop until next Thursday. If the coil is bad can it be repaired or are replacements available?
Can you jut buzz them?
Here's a helper (how I do it): if you have access to ALL pins of any coil, that are soldered to, EVERY pin should buzz with low Ohms (1 to say 10 Ohms, at this point do not concern yourself with what it should be exactly) to some other pin in the same coil. Keep in mind, old oxidated solder often does not contact well with probes so make sure there is connection, or use needle type probes, those will ensure there is one.
