 Hello Group
  I'am currently replacing the motors on my AlfaSpid RAS and the azimuth
motor is no problem but on the elevation motor there is what I call a
hidden screw. It's tucked away down in the housing. you can see it and get
a screwdriver to it,BUT, there is no slot for the screwdriver. The head is
hollowed out as for a allen wrench,BUT, no hex for the wrench to grab. I
don't think that it has been rounded out because I bought the rotor new and
it's never been apart before by me. All the other attaching screws are flat
headed screws so not sure why this one is different. Anyway I was wondering
if anyone else has had any experience with this before ?

         Thanks John W0JW
