Excellent suggestions all, thanks.

Houston: I shall indeed investigate the solder connections. Perhaps that explains why I'm reading a very high resistance, rather than an open ckt.

VMAX: Do you have a specific URL by chance? Searching on those terms yields an awful lot of hits.

White Raider & wyleone - Excellent ideas, if I can't score an OEM one for reasonable, then I'll try some replacements.

Thanks all.
