@JeffPo, I thnk it is fantastic that you have found the guts to open her up.

Thanks.  I can tinker a little bit, but not much beyond that.  And I do not have great soldering skills (or even the proper equipment).  But I do have a friend that lives around the corner that loves this kind of stuff.  He's offered to check out the various components.

Capacitor performance can be impacted by age and this one charges and discharges repeatedly.   My money is on a bad cap.  Some multimeters can measure capacitance.

Thanks.  I'm going to have my electronics guru friend check it out.
