I finally found the wire from the circuit board to the encoder termal #4 broken.  I used trimmed component leads to make the four connections as called out in the book. Apparently the one on #4 had a nick in it; flexing of the wire during assembly of the front panel caused it to break.  The break was well hidden.  I replaced the wire and encoder functions properly.  Ready to move on! Thanks for your help, 73, Cecil
