Okay folks so I got the oscillator coil out of the 60. The ohm reading I got was something around 125!!! I believe the schematic says it should be about 3.0…. I’ll attach a picture as you can see, no leads appear broken, but why on earth am I getting 125 ohms? I checked the upper part of the coil and got exactly 2.4, which is what the schematic calls for. So I’m confused…. I know if that lead was broken, I wouldn’t get any reading at all
