1930 coupe - no spark at points

[coyledad46]

I used the voltmeter to test both sides of the cutout. I got 6v on the Bat side but nothing on the right side -- the post with the nut where the fork-shaped part from the cutout slides under. I tried an old cutout that I had and got the same results -- no voltage on the right side. Does this mean these cutouts are both bad? The ammeter still didn't show a charge, but the needle deflects sharply to about 10v discharge when I turn on the lights. I appreciate your patience and your helpful responses. Thanks.
