Hi Mark,

apologies for not replying sooner, been a bit hektic round here for a while now! hope ya had a good xmas and new year!

right, just in case it makes any difference what-so-ever to the readings, the ohm reading across the multimetre probes is 4 ohm.

4&5 read 4 ohm
1 or 2 to the pin parallel to pin 5 is seemingly ranging from .4 to .750 m ohm, the reading won't fix.


think i'm gonna buy a new multi meter, this one (amprobe - rather expensive 8yr ago) seems all over the place, across the robes started at 1ohm, checked it later and it's 4 ohm, then 8ohm. can't work it out!


ok, i'm gonna ignore ohms for a moment, using the continuous circuit (audible) feature.....

place probe on jacks internal neg contact,
circuit only on point 1, as expected, and point 3.

using point 2 as start, curcuit on point 4 & 5, chassis also.

see diagram for further...
i think it's self explanatory, i'm guessing there's a break between pin 2, neg, and the coil or ground screw?


thanks.
Hugh
