Part 2/7:
The process began with removing the motor from the unit, which is a crucial component of the targeting system. The system's motor was particularly challenging due to corrosion and frozen brushes. The entire system was previously disassembled and cleaned a couple of years prior, during which worn fuses were replaced and all connectors were upgraded to stainless steel to prevent rust and moisture damage.
The target designation system itself, stored on an original pallet, appeared untouched since its initial manufacturing. Its condition was surprisingly preserved, with no significant damage or corrosion aside from inevitable aging. The system's switches were initially frozen; however, they loosened up easily during testing, confirming their operational potential after maintenance.
