The best meters for tuning coils are usually old school quality VOM's
or VTVM's See the RCA Volt-Ohmist or Simpson 260. Being able
to see the slow swing on a real meter is much better than a digi meter
flashing away. The dip will show up nicely
FBT wax looks normal considering the FBT looks OEM & probably was
running 10-20 yrs.
When you measure the H. out current do it by the book. Even running the
brightness a little high can through off the reading. Be sure to do grey
scale, kine bias, HV adj etc first.

I'm still getting used to the scale of voltages and currents in these things versus the digital stuff I'm used to. haha
