Sorry , I forgot to update this thread. I noted in my restore thread it was working. I bought a new pinpoint strobe unit and it still didn't work. I had new alltek lamp and aux lamp boards. I put them in with the new strobe board and it gloriously strobes once again.

Very cool, glad it all worked out!
I'll be receiving a flash Gordon pretty soon. Excited to finally own one.
