Just to be clear... in my original post I was just looking for a tip on how to trace this faster since I was in a time crunch, with the office being down and such. We all have short-cut tips, you know what I mean. So for the guys that replied constructively, thanks

So what was the problem? Was it a dropped/open neutral or what?

Can you ask the sparky that fixed it what the problem was, or did he just blow you off? I recall you said something about a bunch of old wires or something that were bad, but that wasn't quite the specific answer at all.

So what was the problem? I am glad you got it fixed, but it sucks you didn't tell us exactly what was wrong ...

Again, glad to hear you got that problem fixed.

Nothing scientific. Cut into the insulation from below and inspected down the line. Found a j-box where the conduit was pulled loose and some cable was showing. I assumed that was the culprit so I replaced the box and that section of the romex and put everything back together and everything came back. Sparky came out with a TDR and confirmed everything was clean so we zipped it back up and got back to making money.
