165 Magnet Crane
Posted by envfocus on Friday, September 28, 2007 7:23 PM

I've been trying to get my old 165 crane to operate and have failed.  My concern is that either the motor or the twin solenoids are bad.  The only thing that works is the magnet.  I can turn that on and off with the remote.  Otherwise, nothing else is operating.  I've checked all the wires and they are attached.  I've also checked to make sure power is flowing to each solder point, which there is.  So, I'm pretty sure I have either a bad motor or bad solenoids or both.  Any ideas of what else I can check or do?  Any help appreciated. Thanks.....RJ
