rickenbacker bass pickup resistance

[pdf64]

My buddy reckons that the output on his 4001 Paul McCartney type bass has dropped off - does anyone know what the factory pickup resistances are for the toaster top (part # 00031) and horseshoe (00070) type pickups? They're measuring about 7k and 10k respectively, I wanted to check that there weren't winding shorts by finding out what they should be.
Thanks for your help - Peter

That sounds about right. Ric has changed the specs on the pickups a few times. My two '74 toasters both read about 8.2K.

I'd check the magnets out.
