Better news yet! The CO fell off TU and EX with similarly great results!
I'm not sure how many people are interested in this but I thought I'd post detailed results so anybody that's interested can find out just how much an old baddie can cost you in points.
The only difference in the 3 reports now are 1 or 2 inquiries but most important is that EQ and EX are still reporting an old and closed store card from 1987. My wife's next oldest CC is only 4 years old. This seems to be the cause of the TU score being much lower than EQ and EX. Don't close those old cards people!
These scores are not groomed. These scores reflect 5 of 6 revolving accounts reporting small balances. We typically use all of our cards each month but PIF after reporting.

This will take several posts so I'll be back with more.
This shows my wife's MyFICO score history since we started rebuilding 3 years ago. She added cards and removed some baddies and UTI changed quite a bit from time to time but as you can see, as long as she had that CO on her reports we couldn't get her scores to move.

Well, that's about it.
Now on to fix my scores.
Thanks for this illustration...it shows how important ontime payment and utilization is 
... so it has been taken off EX and TU in the meantime as well !
