"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Another turn in the story... Got a call from Randy at OTS who was in on the tech call with Anatol. He went through his notes and told me to check one more thing. The proximity switch on the indexer. I tested it with a screw driver and it worked, however when I manually rolled the indexer fork past it, it did not light up. The switch was working but it was not bouncing or recognizing the edge of the fork every time. Turns out the proximity somehow had move back just enough to break contact. There was no way to adjust it foreward or back, until I noticed a shim under the bracket mount. Removed the shim but it made contact. I jimmied some washers under it and damned if it didn't work. I had to reset the homing distance but Got the SOB going Apollo 13 style. Got some minor tweaking left but it Looks like some expensive parts are headed back.
only ONE of me. I'm screwed if I go out.
the million $ question is who pays the air freight?That is one of the things yet to be worked out. Randy has been very helpful. He spent about 2 hours on the phone. If I am up and running minus the expensive parts..they way I look at it freight seems pretty trivial at this point.
