This will be a long post, So here goes,
The continuing story on the slow to turn one way Yaesu G-800 antenna rotator.
This will be a long story with 4 video's.
The 1st video explains why it's doing what it did and here it is,,,,,

Here is the fix. I did solder the wires that go through the grommet's to the board and the wires from the motor to the board.
Here is that video.......

Now i took the other rotator apart the the other pass through pin was shorted to ground and i did the same fix to it and now it run's the same speed both way's.
Tomorrow i will take my 6 pin G-1000 apart and do the same fix and to the 7 pin G-1000 rotator's i have to prevent any future problems.
Now there is another tip i want to put out is to watch this video and center the pot inside the rotator and mark the top, Main and bottom housing's with a paint marker before you take these apart and you can align the mark's and easily slap it back together,
Here is the video on centering the pot inside the rotator....
