Coop,
Thanks for posting. I am having trouble sending pictures this week.
That shiny spot on the left was a built up "dimple" . 1/16" dia and .043 high. So the copper disc could not sit flat on the surface and apparently all the current went thru that tiny bump. No wonder it turned over slowly!
Thanks to all. I learned something new. (and so did Lawson) The problem is that at 82 I forget 2 things for every new one learned.

John
