Dan,
I don't know where the time went, but I finally got back to rewiring the 2033 and the motor, which has been disassembled, cleaned and lubricated is running perfectly. I got the replacement insulator spacers which I believe solved the short problem.
I have not been able to solder the coupler wire to the coupler assembly. There's probably a trick to doing this. And, I need to figure out why the horn isn't working, but in the meantime I am very pleased with having my first Lionel train running again.
Thanks again for your help in getting me to this point.
Tom Jasper
