Oh, just the pot, not the whole housing. On mine the fiber bushing swelled
up and jammed the shaft, he sent me a whole new one in the housing with a
metal bushing then I had a new brass bushing made for the old one so I have
a spare.

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

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.
