Thanks for the tips. The motor and drive transistors were all shot. The
motor is tiny compared to what I expected, and even more so considering the
expense.

The strobe power supply is shot as well. I will check tonight, but if it is
the original Grimes, I plan on replacing it with a Whelen.

You and Jay saw my wingtip strobe cover that cracked due to hangar rash-$450
(plus $150 for the aftermarket one I purchased from an outfit that promised
they were the same as a Bonanza lens, which was incorrect. He never returned
any phone calls or email messages either, after the fact)

So, after a long stretch of maintenance free flying, I am up to around
$3,000. And, my insurance bill just arrived yesterday- but I was
anticipating this expense at least.

This is beginning to get as expensive as golfing at some posh country club!
