HP-65 card reader problems

[coitboy2000]

Good news. The reader is working perfectly. Bad news is all I did was dismantle it again for the 20th time, ran the motor for 15 sec with 3v directly, probed some of the logic board, and applied some upward pressure to the switch contact "fingers" incl the motor switch. Maybe it was thr switch contact after all.

Thanks everyone.
