I took the rotor apart \nand discovered that the motor had failed. It would NOT rotate in the \n\"down\" direction.  I was able to free it    ---------  I put the whole \nrotor together   -------- only to have motor freeze in the \"down\" \ndirection.  My conclusion was that the bearing in the motor had failed.\n\nFortunately, I happened to have another elevation rotor and replace the \nwhole elevation unit.  I did not investigate whether I could purchase  \njust the motor, you may wish to do that.\n\nJim Jipping, W*MRR\nAMSAT 5512\n",
