Slide Control Cables

[CC_Guy]

Chuck,

Based on your description and the picture of the part removed, I have to wonder if you have Prevost slides. I can tell you a Prevost slide does not have any power that goes into the slide. Any power cables would be installed by the converter in the way they see fit. I know Marathon uses Valid slides along with Prevost slides. Could this be a Valid slide?

The Yo-Yo is located on the rear lower side of a front slide. And yes, it tells the controller when to stop indicating an all the way in or all the way out position. FWIW, these were done away with in newer slides, Gen-4 I think.

A Prevost slide that has the side pins has a single motor that drives a 90 degree gear that attaches to a dual shaft 90 degree gear that drives the lower horizontal shaft. That same 90 degree gear box that drives the lower horizontal shaft drives a vertical shaft that attaches to a like 90 degree gear box. This gear box drives the upper horizontal shaft.

I probably know these slides better than most given few have ever changed one of the 2 90 degree gear boxes.
