Its easy just replace the coil and hope the car starts....Yes its Russian roulette with a binary choice of points open or points closed. If the points happen to be in the open position and you listen to music your fine. If they happen to be closed then your coil burns. Points are either open or closed depending where the engine stops when you shut it down.
By the way I'm not your guy buddy.
Good luck

Oh guess you dont watch much South park 
yeah new coil and when you listen to music or do stuff with the engine off use the ACC position on the key (full left) this, if still working will power everything up but the coil.
You can always check with test light with ACC vs On (remember sometimes points are open sometimes they are closed) If you get a light with it in the on position but nothing in the ACC position then you know its always safe to operate stuff in the ACC position.
