When I pulled the coupling loop assembly from the bad cavity, it looked fine to me. Although I noticed the connection to the S0239 had apparently been resoldered at some point in the past on the adjusted one). I didn't think about the resoldering job too much. Until this morning that is, when I pulled a coupling loop from the good cavity.
There was significantly LESS solder on the good one. Hmmm, could this be an issue? On the bad one, there was so much solder that the solder fillet actually shorted almost 1/4 inch of the loop. Voila! I bet this changed the resonant frequency of this coupling loop. I removed all the excess solder, and used just enough for a good electrical and mechanical joint. It is now working just fine! The notch is pretty much centered in the adjustment slot and is deep and sharp. Thanks to everyone who offered their assistance, I really appreciate it. Perhaps my experience will benefit someone down the road!
