Tech: Judge Dredd Planet

When I got my JD, the planet seemed to be shot. When I would run the
test mode, the motor would run but the planet would not move. I was
told by a few kind people here that i would need to get the gearbox
rebuilt. A kind member here, Steve Cascella offered to send me a
planet assembly to try out in my JD and if it worked, I could pay him.
Well I received it today and i wired it up a few minutes ago and the
motor worked but the planet did not turn. I am wondering, since the
"planet" shaft has wires comming from it, would thes wires have
anything to do with the planet not turning or does the motor drive the
planet to turn. I just dont want to for sure tell Steve that the
assembly he sent me is also not working if it could be the wires
comming from the shaft that the planet turns on. Although I thought
thoes wires were for the lights inside the planet.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
