Need help restoring my 40-180 - SUCCESS
#15

Eric, that wire that has the cracked wax is not likely to be bad. Note how heavy it is compared to the fine red wire just down the coil. No, I wouldn't remove the wires from the coil base for measurement.
I would first locate the coil on the schematic just to see how it is wound. It appears to be two separate coils which would result in only 4 terminals are used. Other terminals may be just tie point used for other wiring.
Set your meter on a low resistance scale as the windings will no doubt be under 10 to 15 ohms. Now if the schematic indicates just two windings and no center taps there should be two pair of connections on the coil that will read low. If one has a center tap, you will have three connections that read low together and one pair that will read low. Make sense?
