HL Barrel lifting Unit

Post by Growbag »

Hi
Long time since I've been on here.
Can I ask for some help please?
I have a HL Pershing but the barrel will not go up or down.
I can't see anything obvious like wires off etc. I've enquired about a replacment barrel lifting device but they all want to know if it is a large or small unit. I don't know as I have nothing to compare it to.

If anyone knows I would be extremely grateful for any help.
Thanks all

Do this first, swap the plugs from turret rotation and barrel lift/elevation. See what happens. As far as small and large, All of my HLs use the same basic mechanism. Some have a horizontal rotation and others are vertical. But I have no idea what small and large are. I do not have an HL Pershing (the one I have is a Tamiya).

Can you post a picture? I have extras and could probably help you out (where in the world are you)?
