Neotec NT 27E - Replaced a HOT, now have a question before I apply power

I have a NT27E, though it would seem to have been a 2701 according to some info from Ken Layton in another thread, it does indeed say NT27E on the back of the neckboard. So I went and got a direct replacement for the HOT (originally a BU2520AX, picked up an NTE2354 to replace it)

My question is, I went to just test out to make sure I had no shorts between the frame and the transistor..and I do not...but I checked the emitter against the base and I get continuity. I'm assuming this is not what I want. I checked the resistors around the HOT for continuity and R426 & R427 came back as having continuity, so I took them out of circuit. R426 comes back as .61 ohm resistance, R427 comes back with 10.10 ohms resistance.

According to this doc at arcarc.xmission, R427 is correct, R426 should be 2.2ohms and is at .61. Also, the inductor at L401 has continuity as well out of circuit (both directions) .. the manual states it as a 2.7UH inductor... can someone tell me if it's normal for it to act as though it's shorted?

I just don't want to plug her back in if the HOT is going to blow again.

thanks

Tom

EDIT: apparently continuity is a good thing for an inductor, so I will replace the 2.2 ohm resistor and fire it up.

EDIT #2: powers up now and I get a picture..mostly green, with some red.. time to work with the colors.
