Hey all,
Long time listener, first time caller:
I've come across a 50's era made in Japan induction coil that was used in a lab setting. It is so beautiful I would like to repair it. Here is what I THINK is the problem although I could be totally wrong:
BAD - The secondary shows no continuity, which I'm assuming means there is a disconnect in that portion of the coil.
GOOD - The primary shows continuity throughout as expected, from the contact breakers to and through it.
WEIRD - The low voltage inputs do not show continuity, I thought the low voltage inputs went into the primary, they certainly look like they do. Is there some sort of center tap thing going on?
The capacitor is new and good.
Any tips on repairing a secondary coil, or should I just make a new one?
thanks in advance for any help.
