[CQ-Contest] Tic Ring separate direction indicator

[Randy Martin]

I have a ring rotor which is maybe 15 years old. It has a separate 
direction indicator module. The pot started acting up and finally broke, 
so I climbed the tower and removed the indicator unit. At the time I was 
thinking, wow this is great, I don't have to take off the motor. I'll 
pop in a new pot and get it working again in no time.

Well, I got it down in the shop and find that the thing appears to use 
some sort of plastic housing. It has been coated with some sort of 
weather proofing paint. I have tried opening the joints with a drywall 
knife but can't get anything to move.

Has anyone successfully opened one of these up and replaced the pot?

Does anyone know if Tic Ring is still in business?
