Hi Group,
I just acquired a very used M2 Orion 2800 rotor that has had a tough
life turning a full size MonstIR SteppIR for the past 9 years. It was
working when removed but had some rust on it and the 1/4" bolt that
holds the plate onto the shaft was broke with the threaded part
remaining in the shaft. It can hopefully be removed with an easyout
extractor. I don't think that will hurt the rotor but mostly wonder how
difficult it is to open it up for an inspection to check its overall
condition. There are plenty of documented rebuilds of Hy-Gain rotors on
the web but I can't find any example showing someone rebuilding one of
these. I know water getting into the 2800 has been a problem and I'm
concerned with the visible rust on the top that there might be more
internally. So how difficult is it to open one of these up to take a
look inside. Is there a specific procedure or ideal sequence of steps
that should be observed when opening one and appreciate any pointers as
to what I need to check once inside?
And while I'm here, does anyone have a used Green Heron RT-21
controller they would consider selling?
Thanks,
Rob
