And, if the CIM-U-LATOR or the Andy Mark planetary + FP work so much like the CIMs, why not just allow another CIM?
For ease I also suggest AM Planetary +FP also. Consider your withholding allowance, and you may be able to do it after ship.

If you want to do it now, I'd use 1-2 window motors and balance the arm. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=91461

We have some. We're using them all, sorry.

Re: CIM-U-LATORS

Today Team 3135 received delivery of an initial order of two CIM-U-lator=>775 gearboxes,which were ordered along with a total of four 775 motors.
Because of the internal shorting problem, we got two the extra 775's, expecting maybe one in four to test bad. Immediately on opening the box, we tested for internal shorting, and there were THREE SHORTED MOTORS out of four. We are bailing out on using the 775 motors for ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. I hope we can get a replacement pair of DUAL 550 CIM-U-lator gearboxes shipped ASAP.

If anyone wants to trade a DUAL 550 CIM-U-lator gearbox for a 775 CIM-U-lator gearbox, let me know ASAP. Put your good 775 motor on our extra CIM-U-lator.
