Wally,
I think I have the procedure on paper at the shop.
If you have a fax number, I can fax it to you..otherwise, I'll scan and email
tomorrow some time.

Thanks for all the replies. It appears the problem is mechanical gear
alignment. I have tried my usual way of removing the basket and letting the
mechanism go to home when power is applied, then aligning timing marks, but
this doesn't work. Could someone email me the alignment procedure?
My memory is coming back to me on all the problems I had with one like this
a number of years ago, don't see very many in this area.
Thanks,
Wally Heise
