The G5400 elevation rotator comes in two flavors depending on its \nage. I ran into this when trying to order parts and my manual showed the \nparts break down for the original version but I had a newer version. The \nearly model has a light small motor with a simple felt friction disk and \na pressed fitted nylon gear. Either the felt needs to be lubricated \n(clutch style) and the nylon gear is cracked (it is pressed fitted on \nthe shaft). The motor part number for the old unit is:\n\n M2190010 is runs about $85.00. If you have the newer unit like I \nhave, the motor is larger and has a free spinning nylon gear with a \nnotched cam that engages the nylon gear. The motor part number is: \nM2190021 and runs $207.17!!!! needless to say I found my own way to re- \nengineer the nylon gear retainer problem. It is very important to \ndetermine the correct model of elevation rotator (mine is G500B) as the \npotentiometers, some of the mounting hardware is quite different and \ncaused my problems when ordering. If you describe the part, they (Yaesu) \nonly look up one model unless you give the actual model you have in \nhand. Good example is that potentiometers are 360 degree versions which \nrun $20 each. They'll send you standard 270 degree versions that are \nabout $5.00 each unless you state otherwise. They have the parts but you \nhave to be clear and sure of what you are ordering from them.\n\n\nGood luck on your repairs.\n\nReid, W4UPD\n\n\nJohn wrote:\n> I opened up the G5400 elevation rotor.\n>\n> All the bearings and gears look good.\n>\n> Problem found is the motor shaft spins free inside the first, small nylon\n> gear on the end of the shaft.\n>\n> Any advice on how to replace or repair that gear?\n>\n> Thx.\n>\n> John KE5GFJ\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> \n\n", "attachments": [] }
