what  does the new pot look like... had mine replaced once because the 
bushing  seized up, but the replacement was the same as the original which can

the  only problem with going to the magnetic pulse thing is he apparently 
has had 2  different motors, one has the tail shaft, the other doesn't, and 
he doesn't  know which one I have.... and I never took the cover off to look 
before I  installed it.

Hmmm.. just had a failure and replacement pot sent. Maybe I  should have 
gone 
with the relay/magnet. New pot looks much different than  the original

I use the pulse counters on my K0XG rings with Green Heron  controllers and
they work flawless.

I prefer  pots, but the way he does them doesn't work in my icy
environment... so I  found he has both and he sent me a kit to put in a
magnet/relay for pulse  counting. now I just have to get up there and hope
the motor has the tail  shaft to put it on.

A tip of the hat to K0XG rotating tower systems....fast  service.

I called Richard Thursday evening needing a replacement pot.  He sent it
out the next day, with no payment needed until I received it. I  got it
Tuesday and all is good.

This is how companies should be  run.

## why are they still using pots ? Why not  digital pulse train ?
