Also noted that you had originally considered the acid flush but don't have the chemical at hand.

Yes, I did not have the citric acid available, but found the Prestone "super flush", which I understand has citric acid in it. The "super flush" was at wal-mart, and only about $3, so I bought it.
I guess I could order the citric acid over the internet, and try the flush again. How many pounds do you think I'll need?
If there is anyone to blame, it is me, as I have been the owner for the past 19 years, and call it ignorance and/or lack of a good mechanic...there really is not a good reason, just poor excuses.... in spite of the neglect, however, the cooling system never gave me any problems, and consequently, was forgotten about.
