Ed,
As a tech type with a lot of years invested, I've found the simple is usually the culprit. Always go back to the basic. Mark did an excellent follow through.

Mark,
Great news! I think mamy of us were guessing there was a dc power problem and you found it. An old mentor of mine in my professional life made a fatefull observation about troubleshooting. Don't get sidetracked with complicated possibilities. Most problems are simple! It has been a mantra to ease my 40-years of troubleshooting electronics, and I have found that it's very true.
Glad you have got it solved. And now you have a little experience that you can file away for future reference.

A bad power supply! 12V coming out, but no current out. I swapped out the power supply and BAM! What a difference. Now I am cooking with gas!
THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED WITH HELP AND GUIDANCE!
