Because I was not planning to use this servo I thought there was no harm in opening it up. There's a plastic spacer next to the motor which I'm guessing is where the potentiometer goes when it's not a continuous device. A small circuit board connects the inputs to the motor and the other end has a multistage gearbox, a bearing on the last stage to support the loads on the horn. Not a lot on the board, just a big IC, some transistors and a few discrete components.

At the end of the day it was quite straightforward to get it back together.

Thank you for showing what the range is/does!

One of these days, I will invest in an oscilloscope!
