Thanks for the complement Stephen. I guess these antenna's were not isolated from water very well.

Randy, to test it, I hooked up the ground wire to the positive side of the battery and attached the other wires, one at a time, to the negative terminal. That was before I took it apart. I can try again, now that the gear portion has been removed and see what happens. Judging from what the inside looks like, I'm not too hopeful. But then again, I have zero experience with motors or how they work.

If the motor still doesn't work, I wonder if I could pour PB Blaster into the motor housing itself. Would that hurt anything? Maybe the oil will get down to the ends of the stuck screws and help loosen them?
