Hello John - I have just recently ran into an identical problem as you are
describing. It was on
a tailtwister but that should make no difference. On it I replaced the zener
diode in the meter.
I really would have never guessed that would work in this manner. Bingo -
problem solved
for me at least. I hope I don't steer you in the wrong direction.. but this one
has since been
working perfectly.

How accurate should the control box indication be on a Ham IV. I've noticed
recently that
what should be a 90 degree turn when viewed on the meter of the control box,
appears to be
about 125 deg on the tower.
As I recall, all that's in the rotor is an exposed potentiometer .... and I
can't figure out
how that could cause what I see. Anyone else notice a similar thing? How linear
are these
indicators?
Thanks everyone,
John K5MO
