Craig,

I can't address  your other issues - but never assume that just because
something doesn't move that is supposed to - that it is "shot".
Sometimes a soaking in Marvels Mystery Oil (not the top overhaul stuff -
the real oil. Or perhaps a soak in WD40 overnight would work to loosen
things up. Had that happen on an electric window operator once. Cleaning
and lubing the shaft and applying a lubricant would make things
considerably6 better.
