I guess my 20 year old G-5400B doesn’t owe me anything more. I rebuilt the EL rotor once about 15 years ago, today everything went haywire. It seems the AZ stopped because of a poor terminal connection at the rotor. I no sooner got that fixed, finding the rotor to the. Be completely out of alignment, and the EL rotor quit functioning and then the smell of something burning coming from the control box.
Any body have a control box they want to get rid of? I hate to do it but I’ll probably have to bite the bullet and buy an entire new system.

Three years ago I had my rotator repaired by Larry Kramer - K6VLF. He did a good job at a reasonable price and in a decent time frame. GL Rolf NR0T
