Testing Ohms on an AGA-T

[chrisjw]

Can someone please jog my fuddled brain on how to test this with a multi-meter..........Even us blokes have blonde moments........

Make sure the leads are in the right holes depending on your meter, the red one needs to go into the ohms hole
Switch the meter to ohms , switch it on and touch one probe to the centre post of you 510 atty connector and the other to the outside of said atty connector, if you get a flashing ! it means an open circuit IE no resistance/ohms

Thanks eyebrook.........OK.........I touched the 2 leads together first & got a reading of 0.1.........I then put the black to the outside bottom post of the AGA & the red to the inside base & got a reading of 3.4.

.1 from 3.4 means the atty is at 3.3 ohms,
I presume you made the coil so taking a turn off will drop the ohms/resistance.
Or did you want a high voltage coil?
And it will work
