Hello Greg.....Good morning on NEW YEARS DAY....
First let me tell you that I rebuild PROP PITCH rotators and have done so
for the last 15 years so my comments are not coming from "left field".
I recall that a few years ago I did work on three P/P units and found
them to be acceptable in the 12 volt version. These units had a few
changes in their physical layout
and the numbers or symbols (eg. P,S,T) were different on the bottom of
the motor.
Have you tried the units out and why do you think you need 24 volts?
Are you turning that much of a load? If you like, I can try to contact
the person I rebuilt the motor for and ask what he is "turning".
In any event, I do not have the spare units you want to trade. P/P units
are getting harder to find and just recently I had to take my remaining
spare or back up motor to be turned down at a machine shop.
I have all the articles and reprints from 1947 CQ and QST if that helps
you out..
Regards,
Joel, K2QBV
