[TowerTalk] Rotator Problem

Hello:

A gremlin decided to interfere in my DX chasing last night. I have an Orion
2800 rotator and all was working well when I noticed that as I depressed the
CCW button the numbers would rapidly decend for about 5 degrees and then
peter out and then stop - long before the destination heading.  I had not
taken my finger off of the button.  This forced me to re-depress the CCW
button and the same thing happened.  Using the CW button was all normal -
ramp up to speed and then ramp down to target heading. I have not fooled
around with anything else on the box.

Any help would be appreciated.
