Your best bet is to get a Mercotronic or Stevens tester, especially if you plan on continuing in this hobby. Well worth the money. As stated, you need to put a load on the coil to truly test it.
Short of that, just buy an el cheapo $5 analog meter as stated. That’s all I used before I bought my testers. You can hit it with a hair dryer as well if you want to test it hot.
THis is a useful write up.
