It's difficult to see from a photo, but it looks a bit iffy in that area.
When you get your meter, you can do some resistance checks to see if the ASTIC is OK. The expected DC resistance of its windings are printed on the ASTIC, and its terminal numbers are moulded into the top of its plastic former.

Hi Nick
The readings are as follows
1-2 = 10.8 (11 expected)
2-3 = 14.1 (7 expected)
4-5 = 45.3 (23 expected)
Of course, I don't understand the significance of these numbers but obviously the second two readings are around twice that of what's expected which can't be good?
