I have two of these rotator units in various conditions. One I used parts
of to build the rotator for my 90 ft Sky Needle. I now use a K7NV prop
pitch with a chain drive system.
I would like to get rid of these beasts. Any reasonable offer could
accepted. I have one of the control units that was used with the selsyn
units. Shipping maybe somewhat expensive. I'm near Prescott, AZ (86323)
Can can take photos of what I have for anyone interested.
