Hi All --

Does anyone know if the rotator/motor units between the G800DXA and SA
rotators are identical?  The differences between the two appears to be in
the control box - presets, computer control, variable speed.  The schematics
of the two motor units are the same although the part  number for the motor
is slightly different (DMF-38B in the DXA vs DME38B-113 on the SA).  Is the
motor different for some reason, to allow variable speed?

I ask because I have one of each and want to know if the controllers are
interchangeable.
