That little coil may just be a precision wirewound resistor - easy to work around, with the range of precision metal film resistors to choose from. Some Phaosotron meters used a bobbin resistor that would open - they used those in a lot of DoD test equipment in the 1960s.

All the resistor does is act as a voltage dropper, so replacement types aren't critical.
