Thanks Spare,
The magnets are all good.  I thought about JB epoxy - I love advice that includes "the last time I did it" - I'm feeling a lot more confident about this.
Checked the Ohms - got zero with a cheap meter and .2 with my good one.  I couldn't figure out how to get the spec off of the Repair electronics.com site.  Is this the right link:  
http://repairelectronics.com/  ???  If so, what do I do when I get there?
Thanks again - Scott
