<x-charset iso-8859-1>I removed the points last night and the condensor and there was no other
wire.  I carefully inspected the assembly before removing it, and found only
two wires.  The condensor-to-coil wire, and the points to condensor wire.

Should the wire come with a new condensor or points?
