quote Steve D:
(…) but the needle didn’t budge and stayed all the way to the left for the secondary circuit. Normally it would move to the 6, 7 reading on the “K” (1,000) scale.
In other words, the secondary winding is ‘open’ – like a blown-out fuse. This will usually render the coil completely inoperative, though there are +some+ cases where it will continue to work, for a while, anyway.
