Ive got a bad Van Zandt middle Strat sc pickup thats reading infinite resistance. May require a rewind or there may possibly be a short around the ends of the enamel wire. 

Anyone around who can sort this out?

    Not a short, but it may have a cold solder joint at the eyelet - this is quite common. Try re-soldering both eyelets first.

    Yes that pretty much worked a treat with the assistance of some fine grit sandpaper on the enamel to expose the copper in an area close to the eyelet. Thanks
