Yep, the gears could be stripped.  Seen this more than once!

Finally my turn again.
T2X will not rotate, all of a sudden. Brake sounds like it releases with
the loud 'clank'. Diretcion meter will not move from its last
indication, at JA. Voltages and resistances checked per the manual and
are in tolerance. Archives suggests changing the AC capacitor. Got one
PDQ from C.A.T.S. but no improvement. Meter not moving means no mast
movement but I can see that myself! Is there some kind of internal
problem that would allow all the electrical tests to be FB but no
mechanical movement?

I can get it down but that is less than fun.

Tnx!
Al
