Hi,

I have a sidemounted T2X @ 37' which turns a 5L 105CA. The rotator is turning fine but the direction indication got erratic very briefly and then stopped indicating - with the needle pegged to the left end of the scale.

I had this problem once before and replaced one control box with another and there was no problem for a few years until now.

Does anyone know what is causing this? I seem to remember something about an internal fuse in the control box - could that be a source of the problem? I also realize that it could be a potentiometer with dirty contacts in the rotator but I don't think that is it since the indicator was only briefly erratic before it stopped indicating.

I would appreciate any thoughts and potential solutions.

Tnx & 73

Bob, KQ2M
