I was on that T2X rebuild treadmill for about45 years.  Three years ago, on XE2K's recommendation, I switched to an Alpha Spid RAK with Green Heron Controller.  Green Heron has a package deal.  I think KF7P has a package deal too.  Then pick up the cable from Wireman, and the short adapter plate from KF7P, and you're good to go for about $1.8K.

No more rebuilds, no more stuck brakes, no flaky potentiometers, no broken gears, no keeping a spare on hand.  Digital controller interfaces beautifully with N1MM Logger and other programs.  Rotor has been turning a KT-34XA and 40-2CD without a glitch for three years.  It survived Hurricane Hilary last summer.

MFJ stopping production in May is definitely going to make it tough for all
of those Hy-Gain rotator owners.  My experience with multiple Hy-Gain
rotators in the 80's was that they needed a lot of rebuilding.  If your T2X
rotator is broke, it might be a good time to look at other options. Spending
more for a better rotator may save money in the long run plus save on
aggravation.
