First ever GG1 received from eBay today and of course I have problems. Power is going to unit but not the motor. Cleaned everything up and had to replace of the wires. The e-unit seems to be working right but??? I'm no expert. Gears are moving with motor but I just can't figure it out. Little disappointed any help?

You'd do better posting this in the Hi-Rail, O27 and Traditional 3-Rail O Gauge forum, this is for TMCC/Legacy command & control discussions.
More than likely one of the contacts in the e-unit that rides against the drum is not making contact or is broken. Common problem for older postwar engines. Easy fix if you know what your doing.
Some CRC 22-6 or tv tuner cleaner on the e-unit drum may be just enough to get some life into it. Also, make sure the e-unit is not switched off with the silver metal lever.
