If that's the case, the best you can do for steps 2/3 is test across the yellow arrows. the result can indicate if coils are open.
Yep, but he's gotta disconnect one end, either the ground end as you suggested, or the top end. Doesn't matter which. While it's disconnected is a good time to also check continuity of the secondary winding of the transformer.
To the OP (original poster): is the capacitor across that winding (shown with dotted lines) actually in the set? If so, have you replaced it and/or verified that it's not shorted?
