Help needed with trackspots

I have inherited this 4 older trackspots, the ones without rotating gobos.
When I recieved them 2 were working fine and 2 would go through their start up and then the pan motor would stop at full left pan and make a strange constant whining noise, they would then try to reset. at no stage did the lamp strike.
well, 1 of the trackspots that was working is now doing exactly the same thing as the dead 2.
I hope that my description of the problem is understandable????
I have replaced the lamps and this is not the problem.
I would really appreciate some advice as i was hoping to set up these lights for my sons birthday party
Cheers

    Thanx for all the help guys, I bought 4 more of these beasts for spare parts for $100. I now have 5 up and running, the problems were all down to wheel sensors.
    2 of them still have a lock up if the fixture is powered down with the wheels in some positions,If i physically move the color wheel so that the gap is just before the sensor , on powere up the wheel will complee a full rotation and then stop at the sensor a away she go's.
    I may have to put a lighting cue labelled trackie shut down in my light jockey open white open gobo?
    Cheers
