My TV antenna is (or I should say was) controlled by an Alliance U110

shelf and all the wires to the motor came off.

The terminals are labeled 1,2,3,4 and the wires are red, green, white,
black, hence the problem. WHich wire goes to which terminal.

here is a link to the instruction manual with schematic.
IS there any way using an
ohmmeter to identify at least one wire? Is it safe to try all 24 different
combinations without blowing something up?

The wires on the motor end are not visible from the ground (its 40 ft up)
and its not feasable to pull the antenna down without 30 people to help.
(Did I say Pizza party?)

Theres a lesson here....record wire information and put it in a safe
spot....no thats not it...Dont let let your freakin brother near your
stuff!!! yeah...thats it.


Don't let your wife near your freaking computer stuff, either. Hubby
always has had twice as many wires to hook up stuff as a normal person
has, so whilst he was indisposed for a week, I cleaned the computer lab.
So many darn phone plugs, I took out all the "spares" and put them in
a drawer. Including DSL filters. Who knew? At least I got rid of the
cracked 3-in-1 plug that hooked onto a three prong extension cord that
plugged into a two-prong ext. cord that ran under the mattress to the
plug-in strip on other side of the bedroom.


So, how do you now get power to the appliances on that side of the
bedroom, or do they all use AA cells?
