Default Any Hy-gain Tailtwister guru's lurking about?

Can I test for either one of these conditions from shack-end of the control
cable?

If you mean does it indicate at all: When I turn the contol box on the
needle moves to the extreme right position and then falls back slightly.
If
I turn the calibration adjustment the needle moves. It just won't track
with
the rotator.

My meter doesn't display direction any more and I'm trying to figure
out
where I should be looking--control box or inside rotator. Everything
else
works fine; rotator turns; break works; lights light; etc. The fuse
inside the control box was blown. I replaced it--still no meter
indication. Anyone have any ideas?

tnx
Well, is the meter open?

Open wire, or blown Dashpot up in the rotator.......
