It depends on your meter! Have you shorted the leads together to set it to read zero Ohms before starting? What sort of meter is it? Any chance of a photo?

The handset should be 'on hook', ie: sitting on the cradle when you measure the resistance of the bell coils at Terminals 4 - 16, so you don't include the regulator and receiver circuit in parallel with it. You should be looking for a reading of about 1000 Ohms on your multimeter.
