I have one that's behaving strangely.
Sometimes it will turn one way, sometimes both.  Sometimes completely normally.
Sometimes it slows/sticks if I go beyond East, turning clockwise.
I can't find anything wrong electrically, so am thinking the bearings are going.


Is there anyone servicing these besides Norm?
Have others seen these symptoms?
Any relevant advice appreciated,
Wilson

I have two thoughts. 1. Could it be that the indicator isn't working properly?  2. Can you observe while turning and perhaps see some indication of binding occuring?Kathy
