I was worried this might be the case and I'm thinking this might be it (sort of a dumb design). Here's my guess as to what happened:
Loose wire behind the dash (there were several I tightened, but none were super loose other than one of the leads to the panel lights dimmer knob), caused some of the other failures (solenoid, ignition switch, voltage regulator and ignition idiot light) and I'm hoping when I replace the bulb (all the filaments look good, but hopefully it's bad) it will all work.
