triumph pickup help
« on: March 04, 2009, 04:20:18 PM »
I'm wondering if anybody here knows how to measure the dc resistance for the different coils.  there are two sets of four wires coming out of each end of the pickup (brown, green, blue & red) and I'm not sure how to pair them to be able to measure the dcr.  ???    any help would be appreciated!  :-*    I just got the pickup from ebay and I'm trying to determine if all of the coils are working. 


one more request, does anybody have the schematic for the triumph?  I looked on Jules' site but couldn't find it  :P

many thanks!

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

No, those are two stacked humbuckers. Each with three coiltaps.
