There are seven (7) pins on the T1005 inductors... (referring to L8, as 
viewed from the bottom of the RF board)

          0
    o           o

                o

    o           o
          0

The two larg(er) pins are ground lugs, connected to the tin case.

The two smaller pins, on the left, are (in this case) not connected to 
anything insude thge inductor case.

The three smaller pins, on the right, are the 'business' pins. In this 
case, I don't think the middle pin is used, but the two outside pins are 
connected to the inductor itself. THESE are the two pins you can 'ohm out' 
to see if all is OK there.

Good luck,
