	Well put.
	I thought of saying so immediately; but Roger's original msg 
said he had replaced the condenser (correct nostalgic term :-[) and 
so I thought the cause of trouble must be elsewhere  -  and where, 
I've never known.
	A quickly-failed, or initially defective, condenser is a 
logical possibility.
