After I pulled the motor off the gear housing the motor runs in both directions. But, when I manually rotate the large white nylon gear that the motor drives that gear binds once every revolution. So, it appears that nylon gear is worn and needs to be replaced. Anyone have a part number? Couldn't find the replacement parts section of the Yaesu web page, if one exists.
Also, I've lost the pictures I took of my last azimuth rotor repair adventure, so if anyone has some pictures and notes posted somewhere, please pass along the link.
Tnx, Ken, W7KKE
