Hi, Charlie --

      While we've covered lots of rotator topics, your AR-22 question is a 
first!

      Is this equivalent to the current AR-40? This is a pretty light-duty 
rotor. I don't know if the Rotor Doc or Norm's Rotor Service work on them. 
Craig is at www.rotordoc.com; Norm is at 
http://www.tiac.net/users/shiacawn/rotors/ I think. 

      The TA-33 is pretty minimal so just about any rotor will suffice if you 
don't mind not having a brake. Norm has the Alliance HD-73 rotors which will 
do a "James Dandy" job of twirling your antenna also.
