If the coil is good, the problem is gummed gears.

Try drilling - very carefully - a tiny hole in the gear case, and
then
using a needle like the ones for refilling ink cartridges, insert
some
3-1 oil or similar lubricant into the gear case. You may have to
heat
the gear case up to 150 - 200 F to loosen up the existing dried
lubricant. In fact you might heat it up before putting the oil in to
get better circulation.

I have done this provedure about 5 or 6t times over the past 40 years
and it always works. Just be careful when drilling the hole that you
don't get into the gears, they are usually very close to the cover of
the case.

The coil is open. So is the one in the repair shop. I guess I'll drill
it
open and maybe see where the open is. Thanks for all your posts. I'm
not sure
where this will lead me.
