This rotator is well over 12 years old and is becoming more balky with each
passing month. Last winter, I had a heck of a time getting it to breat
loose and turn the beam. Even in the current hot weather, I still have to
rock it loose before I can change directions. I know that having to rock a
T2X is typical of that unit.

I'm going to pull it off the tower tomorrow and take a look inside. My
question is: can this unit be lubricated and, if so, is there any
preference regarding lubricants?

Tnx.
