[HAM] Bad generator pickup coil

So I got this M2 and it has a missing tone (51) on both manuals and I 
removed the cap and tested it, a .255 measuring at .3, which is close 
enough, and I tested the 51 transformer and it's not shorted out. And so 
I did the alligator clip from the output of the transformer to a drawbar 
and get no tone, and then the input to the transformer to a drawbar and 
get no tone. So I look under the tone generator and the 51 tone wheel 
isn't stuck or beat up or anything,  and the 63 generator on the same 
shaft has a good tone. So now I'm afraid it's the pickup coil or magnet.

So what does one do when a pickup coil  goes bad? Especially when it's 
on the front side of the tone generator? It looks to be a big job to 
replace it. Does anyone have a spare? All thoughts appreciated.

Regards,
Mike
