Note that there are a few inductors (invariably shunt inductors) that have a DCR of 7.5 ohms but if I remember correctly that doesn't apply in your case. Examples would be the 3.5 mH 7.5 ohm shunt inductor across the LE5 in systems like the L96, L112, L150, 4313, L212, etc. and the 1.0 mH 7.5 ohm shunt inductor across the 066 in the L212.
