Charlie as they mentioned the relays that drive the motor. If they don't
engage it won't go. The relays are driven by the coding wheels.
So the frozen grease and such are real possibilities. Its been a while but
you can pull the motor, disconnect 1 lead to the motor and see if you can
move it freely by hand. Its not that easy because it is geared. But should
not be frozen. The reason to remove 1 lead is that in the de-energized
position the relay shorts the winding to act like a break. Also you could
hook a 24 V supply up just to the motor to see if that works or stalls.
Understand that polarity of the supply is very important the wafers only go
in 1 direction and after years of going in that direction you could damage
something if you went backwards.
