That's really interesting, since both the coil sets
I sent have the same part number. That the original
and Set One give the same error while Set Two
results in near-correct tuning calibration is, IMHO,
unlikely to be coincidence. The coil set with MFP
is probably from a later-production set. One of these
days, if The Almighty isn't tired of my foolishness by
then, I'll do some "coil swapping" and see if I can find
an oddity like this.
