[Towertalk] T2X Problem

[Jim White]

Look at the inside of the upper housing, there is a "spot" for the end of
the spring loaded arm to mate into - it is critical that you get the "tip"
into that recess on the top...as the top casting spins that pushes the
rheostat around....if you miss the hole it won't lead you around.

NOTE _ I find it always good to leave a rotor in the North
poisition...whever you test it out or do whatever wiht it - leave things
pointed NORTH (make sure you are mid-range on your trimmer pot) - then you
never have to wonder where you left it pointed...becuase it is always
North - this logic sometimes works well - unless it is in relationship to a
woman and putting her car keys in a cwertian place in her purse!
