Keep in mind that the G5400B elevation comes in two different flavors. This is important if you have to order parts. For example, the older unit uses a light weight motor and costs about $80. The newer version like I have costs almost $250.00 for the motor which is heavier duty. YOu have

One correction to the information on the G5400B. The schematic locates the capacitors in the rotor for elevation and in the control box for azimuth. This unit uses relays to perform the actual switching. So check the following: 1. Disconnect wires 4, 5, and 6 to the elevation rotor. If you

Hello Enzo, If I had that problem, on the rear of the control box I would reverse the UP and DOWN wire connections (2 wires only; I think they are contacts 4 and 5, but please double check on your schematic!). You can then determine if it's the rotor, the controller, or a wire connection.

Enzo, You have gotten some good suggestions. Some time ago, my G-5500 did the same thing. The failure was in a phase shift capacitor used by the motor. Without the capacitor, the motor did not have enough torque to move the elevation down. Fortunately, at least according to the schematic, that
