Strat pups ohm/output Question Help please

[Guitar-Sam]

I have a set of vintage strat pickups.
The neck pickup had a break in it and after tearing it apart and breaking more windingbangheadI peeled it and found the breaks and repaired it.
It now ohms out at only 4.76K
My other pickups ohm at 5.51K middle and 5.68K bridge.
How will the output of the neck pickup compare to the others now??Will there be a huge output/volume drop on the neck pup???
I do kinna prefer a dewound neck pickup but I haven't tried one this weak befor.
Also there were about 10 wraps that are now flopping loose,cause I had to pull them outta the potting wax for the repairs will the pickup be microphonic now??
Thanks
Sam

The balance among p'ups will be even better than before, if you ask me.

Just put some cloth tape on the bobbin to cover those loose wraps and you'll be fine.

Looks like you did a better job than a lot of "guitar techs" out there would've done. Pat yourself in the back and play that guitar so you make us feel proud of you!
