    My "manual focus gadget" is even simpler than Jerry`s one:

    The plastic "crown" is simply glued to the ruler. It works like a charm, exactly as Jerry mention. Just another idea.

    The final two pics: Motor Housing & Motor Housing Innards. Turns out the files I tried to attach earlier were too large, so I shrunk them.[ATTACH=CONFIG]124684[ATTACH=CONFIG]124686

    The radio guy sounds like a good idea. When it first failed I took the motor housing apart and completely disassembled the innards but found nothing that looked or smelled out of the ordinary, no bad wire connections. Had a lot of fun though getting it properly put back together again so the gear set was ok - definitely required a specific assembly sequence. There are no fuses or belts. Strongly suspect a burned out motor. Onward and upward!

    Thanks Jerry!

    That looks wonderful and your attention to detail is excellent, I should be able to follow that.
