Slowing down the hideaway motors
I've seen in other post where comments were made about how fast these motors open and close the hideaway assembly. I too thought it was a little aggressive, so I searched out and got some feedback from George that's here on the board that seems to have a lot of knowledge.
I pulled some tests and my results were if you want to slow down the motors you will need to install 6 ohms (5 ohm and 1 ohm) worth of resistance into one of the wires that go from the control box to the motor. I used the green wire on each, but it shouldn't matter which one you use. I also used resistors that were rated for 10 watts. This made a significant difference in the speed. In my case if I went higher than 6 ohms the motors wouldn't run.
