I would like to talk off-line with someone who has repaired the servo
circuit in Create rotor control box.  Short caused by weather,
corrosion, and old age rot in rotor connector was repaired and antenna
rotates.  However, when cable was disconnected at control box the
pointer does not turn to "0".  This would indicate servo circuit is
damaged.  Checked R11 pot portion of bridge and it is okey.

Can someone suggest check for Q1, Q2, U1 or ?

I queried Create in Japan, they are helpful, but indicate there is no
"authorized" service representative in US.  Does anyone know of a
specialty shop here for Create rotor repair?  Not EDCO, I  read the on
line history.
