(score: 1): Author: "Frank Marrone" <itswonderful@attbi.com>; Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2003 09:44:20 -0800; Hmmm, Steve if you really did only measure 10.6 Ohms across the secondary then something may be amiss. Typical coils should measure much higher (in the K-ohms) across the secondary. Measuring 10.6 oh; /html/tigers/2003-02/msg00004.html (7,899 bytes)
