it aint hard to do.
comes apart in two pieces


True, but I think the big problem was the JY one had a blown coil as well.

When I tested the ohms on the 'new' one it was way different than mine. Don't know what that means, I do know that the 'new' one came out of a different year than mine (don't remember what year though)
The resistance on the 'new' 1-2=76 2-3=34 1-3=105
The second row seems normal 4-5=33 5-6=33 4-6=62


Looks like the 1-2 coil is blown and the 4-5 and 5-6 coils are at the tolerance limit. According to the FSM, resistance betwen 1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 5-6 should all be within 28-33 ohms for the original coil. I think the newer ones (like those sold by dsmisc.com) have coil resistances nearer to 40 ohms. 76 is way out though. He could un-solder some of the good coils from the JY one and solder them in to the old one, but I think that's perhaps a stop-gap solution based on the age and condition of the coils.
