Your probably right George. I think there is plenty of evidence around that
the rotator has a problem with the brake mechanism. I don't think that can
be easily corrected.
The one here is flawless in still air or light breeze, I know the antenna
is not right, which tells me that the T2X would be happier with an antenna
load that is more balanced. 
The next time I have that antenna down, I'll see if I can fix the problem
and find out.
