Could you, please, expand on your report so that it might be more useful to other owners: Where in the distributor was the bad contact, was it the distributor cap, a HT lead, the 12V supply, or what?
Many thanks.

contact post in distributor cap to one of the cylinders

Several Beat I have seen, it has been the central contact bush in the distributor cap that has failed. (little or no force provided by the spring, causing burning of the contact point)
