Thanks all. I've already reflowed the solder joints so I don't think that was it.
So I'll start with the small resister then move on to the other HF components. Quick questions...
So by what you're saying the cap isn't measurable it will just show open? Maybe just replace it? Digikey?
I get a dead short on the coil but how would that show on my multimeter? Open and zero resistance?
Thanks again! If I can't find the issue with these quick tests I'll take it to a electronics guy. Anyone know a good place in Atlanta?

You can't measure a capacitor with a standard multimeter. There are some meters that can measure capacitors to see that they are working at the right values.
Since you're dealing with just a few components here, it's easy enough to swap them between the working unit and the non working unit. If you can't isolate to a component, then it's possible that a trace has cracked on the bad unit.
The coil when read with a multimeter will read as a dead short, close to 0 ohms resistance. If it reads open, it's bad. It's very unlikely that the coil has gone bad.
