Began troubleshooting my ACR-100 Spotlight. Everything working except the elevation motor, the gear corroded.
The dang replacement part is over $300 for a small DC gear motor!! A new unit is $1200!! I think I found a gear motor on amazon that might work for $15, except I cant find a spec on the RPM output. Anybody ever have one apart and have a guess at what the RPM figure should be?
The original gear motor is made by Think Engineering and their part number was TE-35CC-12-200S. I was guessing the -35CC was deg/sec and so I choose a 5 RPM (=30 deg/sec) gear motor.
If I cant get this working, I think I'll just reinstall a hugely ugly hood ornament. Anybody remove it? If so how/what did you fill the hole with?
