thanks moe...Mr John Bloor will definitely get a letter from me once i wrap this up...and i will take your advice on the anti-static bag, just in case i'm wrong and the igniter is still good! great idea, thanks!

they told me they would check the coil on the bench...i assume you're correct, with some kind of pinger. the igniter they will simply pop into a BA that's in for service and see if it starts and runs. btw, one positive thing about this nightmare is the friendly people in this forum that are offering words of advice and encouragement...thanks to all, i appreciate it muchly...
