What you are calling "regular multi conductor rotator cable (#12 for the
power and used the #14 for the positioner)" is the kind of thing I was
trying to find, but nobody seems to sell anything with #12 conductors
and other thinner conductors.
Where did you get this stuff? Who makes it? Our local electrical supply
house is listed on the Belden Web site as one of their vendors but in
fact no longer carries Belden products -- not that Belden makes rotator
cable that heavy anyway, as far as I could see.
