Howard,
All I can say is WOW! You are so over the top with expertise and information. That is wonderful, THANK YOU for your all your time and consideration in that reply.

Well, by way of follow up, I discovered a section of 60-year-old bare wire with missing insulation leading to the lockout switch located just aft of the solenoid on my R11 O/D. I got under there with some shrink tubing and re-insulated both leads to the lockout switch. That seems to have done the trick!

One more thing. When I fully depress my clutch pedal, I get an intermittent clicking sound with no particular interval or rhythm to it (source of sound unknown). It sounds electrical in nature, but difficult to tell sitting inside the car. When I release the clutch pedal even a small amount, the 'clicking' sound stops. This has been happening on and off for a long time now. Any thoughts?
