Thanks Mike. I spent the evening checking coils. I checked them all: # 1, 2, 7, 8, 13, 15, 23, 28 and they all checked good. None are open. I double checked the resistors too (some of the originals were within tolerance and I left them in... they weren't the old dogbone style). They are good too. So it's looking more and more like a missed connection, or a bad solder joint. That will be tomorrow night's project to check. I feel good that none of the coils are open. That would be a more major issue to overcome. .
