    Trace two yellow black stripe wires from switch, I would suspect a broken kill switch wire.

    +1 on the black yellow wires, this link should help. http://continuouswave.com/whal....html
    The round push on connectors are bad about the wire breaking as it goes into the connector!

    If the power pack has been replaced recently check the wiring around the stand offs of the PP mount. They have a way of getting pinched. Also check the ground wire on the switch and meter it to ground.

    It must be comforting and fulfilling to know that you are in the same league as the buggy whip leather-worker or a rotary-dial phone technician or a vacuum tube tester or a 5 1/4" floppy disk maker.
