[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain rotor troubleshooting

When I need it most I can't find either of the manuals for the Hy-Gain
rotors. Can anyone easily tell me the resistances between the various
terminals. I just did some mechanical maintenance one my Ham IV and when I
got it back to the top of the tower I didn't work. 

Brake doesn't seem to release, meter lays against the left stop until I hit
one of the rotate switches, then it goes to full scale.  I retrofitted it
with the plug/jack arangement the last time I had it down, it was working
fine before I took it down Friday. So I guess I have to be looking at a
wiring problem. The resistance table would be a big help.

Thanks all for any assistance.
