Still trying to repair a SON Delux-SL Hub

They were only interested if they sold me a wheel that they built... but did offer advice to short the hub out and see if it sparks.

So the update is that my hub is still under warrantee and Peter White is corresponding (sporatically)
I've cut the wires from the SL contactless connector and checked at the Light. I have continuity from the plositive lead down to the SL contact imbeded in the drop=out and a very good ground to the hub.
But No Voltage on the VOM across those two wires when spun.
The hub has normal sound when the wheel is spun and it's ratchet-y a bit more than my other two SON hubs. But still 'normal'

It'll cost more to ship it to Peter than its worth...

Anyone disassemble one of these ???
