First of all, a very big thanks to the many who have contacted me privately providing ideas to solve this problem. Unfortunately, I have not done a very good job explaining the problem. The situation is a bit more challenging than most think. All of the wires coming down the tower from the rotor are the same size, just different colors. I do not know which colored wire goes to which terminal on the rotor at the top of the tower. I am wondering if enough information can be gathered on the ground to figure out where the wires will need to go on the control box. I hope that makes sense. I am home on medical and cannot lower the tower or climb it thus this situation. I now have a schematic of the rotor. For example I know leads 3 and 7 should have the pot across them, but which is lead 3 and which 7 ? Leads 4 and 8 will need the cap, but which is which? The guide in the manual provides some guidance but does not solve my problem directly. I am wondering if someone has actually derived all of the needed connections solely from resistance measurements.
