Again, thanks to everyone who sent me tables, schematic, etc. As I was
taking the wires off of the back of the control I was reminded of a tip I
think I first picked up here a long time ago. That is when wiring the rotor
cable to arrange the wires in alphabetical order of the colors. For example
Black, white for 1&2 then blue, brown, green, orange, red, yellow for 3-8.
I always make up a chart anyway, but at a glance I can tell if I have made
any wiring errors.

Hope this helps someone as much as it has helped me. Now I have to go back
up the tower and see if I somehow damaged the plug that I got from the
Rotor Doctor. I seems that I have at least 2 & possibly 3 open circuits. I
am glad the weather held out today.
