Tom gets the troubleshooting prize for this problem. After pulling the caps, 
I checked the equalizing/bleeder resistors and found one open! It looks 
absolutely perfect, no signs of physical damage such as heat, cracks or 
scrapes. I'll need to get a replacement, then see if the cap is damaged 
beyond use. It's doubtful at best.

Thanks again for all the feedback. It's been an education beyond the initial 
problem.

73, Mark
