Philip, we have ALL had original coils go bad. We used to carry cardboard boxes with extra used coils to change out with when stranded. This usually worked very well, as the cold coil from the box would always fire up until it got hot enough to short out like the ones we removed.
These days, we know to send the failed original coils to Skip Haney, who promptly returns them rebuilt, ready for another 70 years of service.
