Reassembly is very carefully noting the steps in taking it apart. You
especially should make a scribe mark on both the upper and lower case
to ensure you place it back exactly as it was.

As for the problem, it is more than likely that one of your "end of
direction" cut out switches is open. I would remove the bottom and
check them carefully. Both switches MUST
be closed for the antenna to operate in its normal range. When 1 cut
out is engaged, the only source of power to turn in the opposite
direction is the remaining closed cut out.
