I knew I'd regret it...

Are you saying that the undercarriage cannot be unlocked for extension unless the propeller is rotating? It’s a yes or no answer that doesn’t need embellishment with your dyslexia shtick.
[T]he prop had little or no rotation.

This stop[ed] the rotation of the D.O.W.N switch locking device which lock[s] the wheels in the U.P position. …

Hence the wheels stayed in the U.P POSITION. However, to remove the aircraft a slight rotation of the prop allowed the switch to unlock and the wheels came into the D. O. W. N. Position.
