It was the blocking transformer! I had another one here and put it in. Bingo!
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Can you measure anything odd on the bad transformer? Seems as if we have seen several now that have appeared to be good, but did not function.

I measured the leads each other and to the case. Everything seemed good. I then hit it with my heat gun and got this:




Yup, a transformer! I ohmed out the windings again and the values crept up from pri-1130 to 1533, sec-153 to 173. I also checked for shorts between the leads and shorts to the core. All seemed good.
