Hey Dutch,

I don't have schematic for the 51S-1 but here is a long shot..............  
You said it worked "a few months ago" and that you "moved things around" ala 
the new shack!

Is it possible the wall outlet in the new shack is in trouble?  I built a new 
house here in Florida and it passed all inspections.  My handy little phase 
tester found a couple of outlets that were wired incorrectly even when the 
electrical was signed off!  

Well, I said it was a long shot but sounds like everything else has been 
checked.

Gud luck and let us all know how it turns out.  

BTW, the pix of the new shack were fb.
