Great news, the fix is in!
I replaced the "b" screw from an old MTB Deore LX RD and a 10T sproket. That's all it took with a little adjustment and I am as good as gold. No click run through the gears great.
Thanks to all for the input. Great that I had the parts around the garage and did not have to drop a c note to replace the RD.
Now to go by that new computer with the money saved!
