[TowerTalk] Control circuit for LM470 NEVER MIND, I FOUND ONE

[K0DAN]

Over the years the control boxes at the tower  changed somewhat; some 
versions may not match the current schematic on BAMA.

There is nothing in the motor housing...the motor just wants to see AC 
power, and the direction it turns is based on which windings are selected by 
the toggle switch in the control box.

In mine, there are no internal relays and there is no S3/S4 (they are used 
to define presence of the limit switches), rather 3PDT toggle switch is what 
activates the motor (CW or CCW).

I'll bet you have an older LM470 ("D" or earlier) which precedes the manual 
on BAMA. I can send you some photos if you wish. Advise!

Thanks for the replies, but I did find one. Section 2, page 22
Now the question: What are the "internal relays"? Looks like they are
labeled $3 and $4 rather than S3 and S4.
Are they in the motor housing?r

The manual is about as clear as the photo copy. Thanks EZ Rino.
It looks like their printer was a bit generous with the ink<:-))

73 es Thanks all,
