Good morning all.
I have purchased a three sections of Rohn 25g and it came with a rotor. (I
paid $150.00 for all)
I need help identifying the rotor. The control box say T2X, it has three
momentary push levers (switches) in front (middle one says break). It also
has a directional meter and an on/off switch.
I have found a picture of the control box that looks close:

I have also found a picture of I believe a tailtwister rotor that looks like
mine : http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/steve/rotor.jpg.
So I believe that it is a tailtwister of some sort, but I think I have seen
someone call it a HAM 4 (or maybe HAM IV). Is there a difference?
Also, I took the rotor apart, and besides the bottom set of bearings looking
a bit rusted, all seems to be in good shape. I took out the bearings and
cleaned things nicely, then I used some marine (green) grease to lube them
back up. I applied the lube liberally, but then I found a comment on this
list about not using too much grease.
Is it important that I use only a minimal amount of grease? Should I take
it apart again and remove the majority of the grease? Is it important that
I use ay special grease?
I have noticed that the unit does not seem to be water tight. I can
understand the need for the bottom to be open to drain water, but what about
where to two halves join? Should there be a gasket of any type? Also, is
there anyway to project the terminals on the bottom from weathering?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Oh, I have wired it up and it seems to
work fine.
Steve
