at the end of the reset, do you press Set again? to validate..,
try a self test, MF 03, look at page 14 and 15 of the manual.. I'm not asking if the batteries are OK?

Yea, tried it all. seeing that I hooked up a different MF and the wheels turned ok, I am thinking it is a bad MF-03. So I ordered a new one. They sure cost a bunch.

OK, so yes, still to order!!! FYI, available here, but expensive? like all Tamiya modules. Wouldn't it be wiser to find another turntable, another brand, for the same price, but programmable (with PC) and more functions, Clark, Ibu, Beier, etc. Look at Rad's site, member of this forum, everything clearly explained

if not available here?

Did you start with going through the entire calibration process first? I know my KV-2 had the procedures in the manual for it.
