Hi steve-Here is a couple of pictures of the hoist and swing control. The first one is the hoist which works good on the resistor set-up-

This is the swing control which I am rebuilding now-

I don't think it is a matter of replacing resistors. These cannot be found anymore. They were made for hi-performance car motors which turned hi RPM and drew lots of current. The swing motor I am now using only draws .125 ma. and I think that is why the resistor doesn't work-(not sure). Anyway I am reworking the swing portion and will post pictures as I go.
