Did as directed, coins are back and wallet has synced. Removed the rescan command. I'm going to let it run for while before I restart it. I'll let you know... THANKS!
Followup: Made some transfers, in and out, super fast and no problems. Final test will be staking, will advise. Again, thanks to Griffith for all the work he has put into this project.
Great. Saw your message earlier, but was on mobile phone and could not log in to answer. Had similar situation before and Griffith suggested that too.
That "rescan=1" can make some magic, hum?
Glad to know it is solved.
