Yes, good call!

You stress the insulation on the secondary windings inside the coil. Do it enough and the windings short. It reduces the voltage (fewer secondary windings) and eventually burns a hole through to the outside of the coil.

@johnschwaner I thought so. I learned all about that in the Sky Ranch Engineering Manual :-)

Doesn't it break down the coil insulation to do this with nothing across the lead?
