I could do with some help regarding the turret elevation wiring, the green and brown on the turret are up/down,
they somehow go to 3 wires on the board, I have made go up or down by swaping wires round but not up and down
and I now think that I have f**ked the up/down function on the board. :{

regards john.

The HL electrics only have one direction...the elevation is on an up/down/up cycle...you're probably hitting the stop in the elevation unit as the Mato has deprecate up/down...if you remove the stop, it will cycle like a HL

Thanks tom, it runs really well, I have a TK24 to fit in yet, really pleased with the HL steel gearboxes from
dave (forgebear). I keep juggling the layout about but the battery always seems to be in the way :haha:
