I have reversed two of the pot connections and now get readings, though way off, indicating that the pot's resistance values are off.  I am guessing it relates to it being a 3-turn pot and maybe off by a full turn somehow.  I can deal with that by rotate it 'down form the too high values with the mast clamp loose.  The **range** of resistance varies about as expected.  However, the limit switch stops are not working well and I now need to recalibrate the whole system and may disable them.  Too easy to 'coast by' .

As the rotator turns more than 360 degrees it should be possible to get 
lined up with the wrong switches which would make alignment interesting. 
IIRC (and I said it's been a long time) the manual makes the assumption 
the rotator has not gone beyond the limit switches in either direction.
