Bismarck Pack 2 - Stage 12

[WonderWoman]

Stage 12 - Gearbox for the forward gun

Putting the gear cog in and attaching the forward gun is pretty straightforward, just line-up the triangle on the cog then screw through to hold the base of the gun turret in position:

 

I found it was easier to use tweezers when adding the smaller gear cogs into the gearbox housing.

 

Once the base of the housing is screwed on, I then attached it to through the bottom of the turret and connected it to the gun mechanism. This motor gear box will move the guns up and down once the motor is fitted in stage 14.

 

 

Stage complete!

Is anyone else having problems with the Bismarck anchor winch motor and electrical components as mine does not work 

[Terry]

Ian, and everyone else, if a motor does not seem to work after installation, try loosening the mounting screws just a bit until it turns freely. Hope that helps.

As a matter of course, I grease all my gears and spindle points of contact.  Works in a number of ways in that it makes the gearbox quieter and smoother in operation. I reckon Terry's answer above will solve your problem though.  Also if required, loosen the 2 top cover screws just a little.
