I emailed Norm hopefully he'll get back to me.
Thanks again
Boy this guy missed it-
First I asked if he sold the gears. I didn't ask him to work on it. And my rotor has steel gears.:blink:

Ron, try Ken's Electronics at Television antennas and ancessories at Ken's Electronics, (Wholesale & Retail Electronic Parts) Kalamazoo, Michigan
He sells the U-105 rotator unit for about $80. The Number CB-105 appears to be the part number for the control box for the U-105 rotator itself. Are you sure ALL the gears in it are metal and no plastic? Most of those rotators of that design did have some plastic (nylon) gears.

I had the rotor motor all apart yesterday, ball bearings and all:blink: Every gear was metal . It may be he was referring to the control unit. But I just bought a new one tonight and stood on the roof in the rain hooking it up. Not sure if that was dedication or stupidity :blush: So, I'm back to business. I also found a couple tower pieces where I bought the rotor so I am puting some things together in my head as what I can do with them
Yeah that would have made it adventurous for sure ! I have to wear glasses for up close looking and they were covered with water. I was trying to attach the wires inside the motor. I took off my glasses so I could see and that was fun in itself I guess I should have attached the wires before it was mounted on the mast

I finally have my 144/440 yagi up on the rotor. I need to get a coax to connect the 440 portion. I also want to get my 6m Hamstik dipole back up above the yagi.
Got the 6m sticks up have to get some connectors for 440. Everything working good once again. Thanks guys for your help !

I hear ya man, I hear ya. I wear progressive bifocals and finding the sweet spot is a challenge sometimes.
