Keith,

I have yet to see any place repair Yaesu rotators. I have a G-2800SDX that has been chugging for many years. Originally it turned a C-4XLD but now handles a 4-L SteppIR. If it ever fails, I will replace it like-for-like. Note well that there are other choices to be had. Good luck in your quest.

Semper Fi,

I have a Yaesu G-1000 rotator.  It was installed on my 150 foot tower
in 1999 to turn a Force12 C-4XL.  Over the years the antenna has
sustained a lot of damage from three hurricanes and several lightning
strikes.  My tower climber took it down and also removed the rotator,
which stopped working some time ago.  I took the rotator apart and
discovered that all of the bearings are rusted.  I assume they are
ruined.
Would it be advisable to find someone to repair the unit, or just
purchase a replacement?
