This full size camcorder had no zoom functions, a button marked T/W was 
supposed to zoom the camcorder in and out. Switches were ok, geared 'zoom' 
motors read the same resistance (approx 115 ohms each) but on further 
inspection I came across a crack in the lens assembly. The outside of this 
lens assy has gear teeth which had become unmeshed. Luckily these motors have 
a long shaft with a gear and a sort of mechanical spring type 'over running 
clutch' In other words the shafts will turn but the gear will not if it meets 
an obstruction. A dab of superglue here and there on lens assy restored 
complete zoom functions.  Craig
