I tested pairs of coils I have and came up with the following primary coil resistance:
T500R = 6.1 ohms each
T500J = 5.1 ohms each
T500K = 4.5 ohms each
I am debating whether to re-use the T500J coils on mu current restoration project and wondered what you good folks think? I want to re-use as much of the original parts as possible.
Does anyone know how the HT lead is fixed into the coil body? I don't want to try to unscrew it if it doesn't...
Cheers
Geoff

Re: T500 coils
Interesting trend in resistances.
The spec is 3 to 6 ohms. You should also check for secondary resistance & grounds.

Re: T500 coils
jabcb,
There was no reading for the 500R secondary coils so I assume they are stuffed.
The 500J gave readings of about 20k Ohm, so OK.
Thanks for those links. Very helpful.
I'll do a practice replacement of a HT lead removal on the faulty coils.
Cheers
Geoff
