That doesn't sound too bad. And if I go with a PM speaker and resistor, I'm assuming the humbucking coil wouldn't be needed?

The other thing I noticed, is I measured the resistance of the power transformer, and noticed that each high voltage side measured higher than the schematic. It calls for 120 and 130ohms, I was getting 185 and 194. I tested it with a dim bulb tester and a 40-watt lamp was extremely dim, so I am thinking it's ok. Just strange readings.
