Lee,

AlfaSpid... http://www.alfaradio.ca/ the hands down winner..! Worm drive, and NO Brakes (therefore, no brake delays) needed... Enough torque to rotate a VW Bug..!

The only rotator I'd recommend beyond the AlfaSpid would be Prosistel... http://www.prosistel.net/ Expensive, but worth the $$$.
They will rotate an Abrams Tank..!


All the rest are...???? (ok, no flames please..!)

Towertalkians......

I have a 60 foot 25G tower with a TH6DXX and a HAM III as a Rotor. I actually have two HAM III rotors...one for a spare...but....

I am looking to do some tower work this spring and summer and wonder the collective wisdom about getting a different rotor. These rotors are 20 to 25 years old...they have been rebuilt by Norms at least once...and I wonder if I should go to a different rotor.

So, what do people like out there? T2X? Yaesu? Stay with what I got? AlphSpid?

I can either have mine rebuilt again or go with a T2X that is used....

I will be getting a new beam but I am not sure what yet....could be a SteppIR 3-element, a C4, or an OPTI-Beam.

So, what do you all think based on your experience....
