You should borrow or buy one to verify what the motor is doing.
thankyou for that. I didn't know that such a thing existed however I have seen an attendant at a super market walking around 'shooting' refrigerated products. I ordered same within 5 minutes of reading your response and I am grateful for that. thankyou, gary.
