    Well, I got a battery and installed it. As soon as I turn the knob to “coil power test,” I hear the vibrator start to run. This is before I even press the test button. Is that normal? Also, without reading any directions, I hooked up a known good coil to the thing, in the same manner I would hook one up to my Stevens. Nothing happens with the meter, and I mean. NOTHING, as well as no spark, which I am assuming I should see in the little window? I tried turning the knob, which I think says something like, “increase, decrease,” but nothing. I guess I will read the “destructions,” but it is not looking good so far….

    Long live American manufacturing!
