Trim Wheel Stuck?

Hey Guys, I just recently purchased Barry's 75' T337G skymaster...
I have a question about the trim wheel... When I took the plane home for the first time, and manually setting the elevator trim wheel for takeoff was fine. However later in the flight, I was playing with the electric trim which works great, but I wanted to fine tune my trim...but the trim wheel feels stuck, I cant manually move it up or down anymore without the feeling of breaking it.

So, I flew the rest of the flight with electric trim and waiting to get on the ground to see if the electric trim overrides it somehow... nope. With everything turned off, I still cant manually move the trim wheel without the feeling of breaking it.

In short, the trim wheel was working before T/O and the first hour or so of the flight until I engaged the electric trim, then nothing.

Is the electric trim somehow preventing me from manually moving the elevator trim wheel, something still engaged even after power is off?

I have also played with the engage/disengaged switch during the flight... same result.

Thanks
