I volunteered to help AJ7LL clear this out of his shop, and am now hoping to find
someone interested in picking it up from MY garage. Don said he rebuilt this with the
guidance of K7NV. There are several different numbers stamped on the casing, but I
have been unable to trace them to any manual or specifications. Here is the
information I DO have:

Height = 13"

Diameter = 10"

Weight = 55 pounds

Gearing = 7056:1

When operated down at 12 VDC, a full rotation takes 5 minutes, 10 seconds. This motor
could be used to turn a large antenna or mounted next to a rotating tower. It would
have to be a pretty large tower if it was to be mounted inside the tower, and/or the
tower sections would have to be assembled around the motor. I am not sure it really
would be very easy to crate up and ship, so a pick-up would be preferable. Please
contact me if you have an interest in this beast!

TNX and VY 73, Lance

In case you need a controller for this I have 2 spare heavy M2 24V rotator controllers from a SK estate available, one used to drive a prop pitch motor. Programmable RS-232 models RC2800P-A and RC2800PX. I will never use them.
