Off the bat i agree, but what's the possibility that this is a genuine replacement with a 4 ohm coil from say 1960's vintage?

Does anybody know if/when 4 ohm replacememnts were available?

If the coil is partly shorted, i would think this would be audible as well as sport a pretty erratic impedance curve if swept with WT3 or similar analysis.

All i can say for certain is that to me it "looks" genuine, but i have some reservations about it's exact vintage.
