[TowerTalk] HAM IV won't reverse direction after reachind end of travel stop

    Tow thing   you said " it binds up mechanically " ? but if you  OPEN  up the Limit switch it works.
 
The    TANG protruding inside the ring gear is the mechanical lever to open the limit switch, in it's Stop binding condition, is the tang engaged in the CW Stop switch ( it should be open and the CCW switch should be   closed ? )

> I have an old Ham IV rotator that binds up mechanically and won't reverse direction after stopping at the CW stop. No problem at the CCW stop.  No problem if the ring gear is pulled and I manually open the stop switches. Any ideas?
