[confused2]

I did an experiment yesterday......I tasted two separate coils for continuity. Each had four leads, I put a probe to each of these leads and found that each coil had a pair of leads that showed continuity. Four leads with two sets with continuity. The one in my radio has four leads but only two of the leads show continuity, the other two are dead.
The coil "2nd IF Transformer" had a broken wire which has since been fixe, shows continuity. The other pair show NO continuity. Could that be why I'm not getting a signal at all.
I was concerned about the speaker not working but found out as I test the prongs of each of the tubes, the speaker would softly hum or squeal or screatch real loud.
I also don't recall how to test the voltage on the P to K with the muti meter.
Any help with any of these issues would be helpful.
Thanks
