Hi,
When my controller was stolen I tried first to find another Yaeus
controller, but there appear to be almost no controllers on the used
market.
So I purchased the MDS RC1-Y.

Cheaper than the Green Heron.
For the price of the Green Heron controller you can also buy a new Yeasu
rotor.
I also have a ERC rotor controller. They sell a desktop housing to make
your own controller.

I have been using a Yaesu G-800S controller to run my CATS RD-1800Y
rotator for 14 years. Rotator is fine. Yaesu controller, not so much.
When I opened the controller up, I found the rubber belt had stretched
to the point where it no longer ran the gear chain that drives the
pointer. I, with much difficulty, replaced the belt with a suitable
O-ring from the hardware store. In the process I must have mis-aligned
something, because it no longer functions as an indicator. I does,
however turn the rotator.
An email to Yaesu, reveals that they no longer service that particular
model. Apparently, no one does.
I seem to have several options: Find another G-series Yaesu
controller, (probably the cheapest, least work involved, as any
G-series will work); find someone with the needed documentation and
experience to repair my controller; or invest a substantial amount of
money in a Green Heron controller.
So, does anyone have a working G-xxxx Yaesu controller they'd be
willing to sell to me? Is there anyone known to have the experience to
repair/align my G-800S?
If you have a working Yaesu G-xxxx controller for sale, please contact
me directly.
Thanks!
