Thanks to all who made suggestions. The problem was simple. No Newell, all McCullough. I had a surge protected outlet strip behind a chair. When I plugged into AC, it must have blown. Only found out when I pulled the strip off the dead circuit and plugged it into a live one for the additional plugs. Now I need to spend some time grovelling to Mike and the guys at Newell for my grouchiness. Don't know how to apologize enough
