I have a Yaesu G-1000 rotator.  It was installed on my 150 foot tower in 1999 
to turn a Force12 C-4XL.  Over the years the antenna has sustained a lot of 
damage from three hurricanes and several lightning strikes.  My tower climber 
took it down and also removed the rotator, which stopped working some time ago. 
 I took the rotator apart and discovered that all of the bearings are rusted.  
I assume they are ruined.
Would it be advisable to find someone to repair the unit, or just purchase a 
replacement?
