Bob,

If you're certain that the cable connections are correct by wire color and connection number, you may consider swapping orange/5 and yellow/6.

A less simple change would be changing the internal connections under the chassis.  Swap the white and the tan wires on the CW and CCW switches.    First, though, double-check the cable connections.  It's possible that the previous owner made some alterations.  A manual with operations info, schematic and connection info is free on the Hy-gain website.   If you alter internal connections, leave a note inside saying what you did. Makes life easier for a future user.

Also, are you certain that the internal connections on the rotator are correct?  You can do a resistance check using an ohmmeter and the chart in the manual.

        Well I am not sure what is happening. This is my third attempt
    to send this message.
        I purchased a Ham 4 rotor from a sk estate (N4KG) very cheap.
        I was surprised to find it worked. Unfortunately When I turn to
        west it goes East.  South goes North. The antenna does rotate.
        I have gotten used to using reverse buttons, but was wondering
        if there is a simple fix ?
