I have a Lionel seaboard coaler. The clam shell goes down but does not go up. When you press the red button the clam shell closes but the motor barely moves the string up. I have taken the controller apart and it appears that a resistor maybe bad on the up line circuit. I called Lionel but they have no schematic that shows what type resistor or electronic thing it is. My guess it is something that reverses the motor.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated
