Cheetah troubles

OK, update on the update.

I'm absolutely convinced that the problem is too much end play in the cable, but I've worked "around" it.

got the reverse pattern gate today, put it in, confirmed not enough throw just like the forward gate, and discovered some things

1--That it's a PITA to tear this apart. "The Roll Pin."

2--That the gate is NOT hardened. Chucked it in the drill/ mill and elongated the park and 3rd end stop a little

Put 'er back in, and it still doesn't have "more than enough," but it does work. You even think about putting rear pressure on the lever, and the switch drops out. But ohh kaaayy. It works, and I'm happy. Proll'y be order'n a cover soon.
