Suspect that the ignition condenser (capacitor) may be defective. Coil, points, wiring etc. appears to be ok. Any suggestions?

Well condensers are cheap but First if you have a multimeter then check to see that you are getting 12v to the positive side of your coil when your ignition is in the on pos. if so then check your point setting.
