Could also be the points plate losing ground. A common failure. Same 
symptoms as points wire with broken strands, only fails when points 
plate moves.

An easy cure is to solder a very flexible wire (braid) from the moving 
points plate to the stationary points plate.

A more proper cure is to repair the "bushing" area of the points plate.
