Not so on the CTC11, this coil is center-tapped - an auto-transformer to feedback from plate to the osc grid, so you don't short it because of how critical this loop is. The adjustment is in the Sams 550-2, page 16 and requires a scope to match amplitude of the two peaks.

I would not mind putting that coil on two of my ring-testers to see if that fails the coil against a good one from my working '11, the resistance measurements sure didnt:sigh:

Is that CRT a 21FJP22, or has it a formed safety glass for the 21FBP22? I covered it up and did not peek so I wasn't tempted to keep it:D
