Presumably you mean the HV secondary which connects to the plates (pins 3 and 5) of the 6X5. Have you measured between pins 3 and 5? It should be a few hundred ohms. The winding is center-tapped, so it should measure half that value from either plate to the CT**.

**Half the winding will show a slightly higher resistance than the other half. That's because the winding is layered, and the outer layers have larger radius (more wire per turn).
