Help please before this model goes into orbit.

Ive been rebuilding a very very old Pershing and a few weeks ago it was pointed out that the flasher unit i hoped to fit wouldn't work with the old BB gun I had. Ive just got a new one but I suspect there should be other wires. Ive a black and red wire coming from teh micro switch but there's nothing coming from the motor. If I am reading this circuit diagram right there should be a single wire coming from the motor and going to the power switch, is that correct? If anyone has any actual pictures id muchly appreciate it!

Hi Rocketman,
The power wires to the motor are definitely missing....They are normally 'clamped' under the black slightly hammer head shaped piece of plastic that is held in position by a single screw.
I do not have one of the BB guns with the micro switch but I have a few without if a photo of that would help ?

Cheers, that's what I suspected. Here's the motor out of the mount. Anyone know if its one or two wires that should be off here?

Good Morning,
Rummaging through my build photos, I found these. They are Pershing turret wiring reference photos I found on another forum:
regards,
Painless

hi if you have another b"b firing tank look how it's connected , take photos and make notes ' i been taking my tanks apart for years but still take notes because somethings not always the same mainly the colour codes there never the same 3 of my tanks are infrared and the wiring is totally different colours anyway have a good one, Ray
