Once again, thanks to everyone who sent me links, suggestions and manual copies. It actually was an easy fix. I brought everything in to the bench and opened up the EL rotor to find what appeared to be some very poor solder joints on the wire side of the terminal strip. WX I guess over about 25 years had done a number on these joints. I resoldered them and hooked up a short pigtail to the rotor and voila...full rotation up and down!! I've also looked carefully at the AZ rotor and using the same pigtail check it out and all is still well with it.

TNX again for your help and I may now be able to work a few birds from my summer QTH in FN21.
