<P mce_keep="true">Thanks. Problem solved.</P> <P mce_keep="true">While expecting the decoder to be the problem for reasons I noted earlier, it was just the "oft mentioned" pinched wire. How silly of me not to look for it first. [D)] I would have expected a pinch to just break and not run. Or perhaps it was the brush solder points touching the frame, but they seemed clear.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Anyway, just a rewiring and wrapping around with kapton tape and it is solved. [swg]</P>
