That's kind of odd. I've been using a PST-61D to turn an OB16-3 and an
OB2-40 for about four years now with only one issue, and that was due to
a humongous lighting strike that fried my controller even though I had
suppressors on all the lines. The motor still worked fine.
I don't remember if the motor in the PST-61D is fused or not, but I'd
certainly trouble shoot the thing to make sure it wasn't something
simple before spending close to two grand to replace it.

Hello Folks,
I need some suggestions on a heavy duty rotor. First, my conundrum.
I have a Universal HD21-70 tower with an Optibeam 12-4. The rotors have
been all Prosistel brand. Three of them in 2 years! All replaced because of
failure due to design flaws or bad parts. The first two were 2051 series
and the one that I just put up in August 2012 is a 61d series. That just
failed two days ago. It just stopped turning. First thoughts were that
the shear pin is broken. However upon testing with a 12v supply, there are
no amps being drawn leading me to believe the motor is dead. Exactly 3
months later its dead! What's the deal with these rotors?
Anyway, needless to say I now have to replace the rotor again. What say
the masses for a product that is of quality and durability which can turn
the OB12-4? Its time to change manufacturers. There must be something
going on with the quality of workmanship with Prosistel( sorry Gianni I
cant make this up).
Thank you for any help and/ or suggestions.
