l have a refurbished HAM-M rotor that has been in
service for 25 years, first turning a 2L Quad and 
full size 40M wire and bamboo dipole, followed
by a TH6 for several years.  The indicator quit 
earlier this year and the brake release quit just 
after the XZ0A operation.  I suspect broken wires 
at the connector.

Remember my rusted through tower leg story?
This rotor sits at the top of that tower (which
survived 70 MPH winds this summer).  Any
volunteers?
