Wow, got a lot of good replies when I was composing my tome. I'm sure I agree with all of 'em (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Probably the most useful detail is to check the condenser (the old-timey name for a capacitor.) They can go bad and not give much in the way of obvious symptoms. I bet one of 'em is prematurely burnt out points.
