   You are welcome.

   I know manufacturers add the resin (potting) to stabilize components for   
   vibration resistance, but holy cow does it make it hard to repair a minor   
   fault in such devices.  My best examples are automatic voltage regulators from   
   portable generators,  in many cases the capacitor will fail, maybe the bridge   
   rectifier might be bad on one side... but it is the same hours of heating,   
   picking, and swearing. :)   
      
   Glad you got the part you needed,  I just hope it works after all that.   
      
   Good luck!
