Next thing I would do is check the fuses, and then check the little driver board in the UCC for bad solder points. They tend to really bake!

No the distributor rotor is only spinning when I press a key. Right now the keyboard responds properly - I press a key, the distributor rotor spins once and stops and the keyboard is unlocked. The H plate is fine. I also checked the break key and that seems ok.

 

I'm hoping it's not an electrical issue, but I think that it might be since it was working but stopped suddenly. One of the components that was on the edge might have worked for a bit and then failed as old components sometimes do after being idle for a long time and then powered back on...

 Troy, 
 
 
 
 Didnt read all the email.  If the distributor rotor is spinning all the time that is the issue.  Do the H plate adjustment for the kybd and then pursue what else could be causing it.   
 
 
 See pics.

Again I think I replied directly to Wayne instead of to the list - I need to be careful about that.  I  was able to track down the problem, it was indeed a broken trace on the solenoid driver board. It was an easy fix and now it's back up and running like new ;) Thanks!

 

Cheers,
 Troy
