Thanx for the Video Greg. This actually help me repair a broken heirloom. The issue was with the cam. It is a wire type so it was bent out of position along with the arm attached to the motor and the gears were completly out of alignment. I used your very brief shot of the cam configuration and position of the arm on on the motor shaft to set mine up and I figured the proper position of the gears. I still can't get the doors to open completely but they close perfectl. It's posible that were never designed to open all the way (still need 1/8" of movement of the cam that I can't seem to figure out). It's been a long time but I'm pretty sure it did open completely when I was growing up. The video of your does, so I guess I may still have something amiss.
my grandpa has one of these and it doesn't work anymore! and I want to figure out how to fix this, I am hoping no parts are broken and this video can help. The base is also cracked :\ not sure how I can remove them and glue them back together
