Thanks for the pics Tom. From the looks of that coil, it has been broken at some point in the past and someone melted it back together. I would think that as long as the spooling area is not broken or collapsed, the conductor wind is continuous, and the shaft is free then everything should be OK with one of these. Mine felt springy at the wound area which would be a problem. I need to double check that to be certain. I have never pulled the chassis as I am trying to wait until I get all the caps that I need. Again, thanks and good luck with your set.
