[TowerTalk] silly LM470 question

[Joe Giacobello]

Mark, it's not clear exactly what you have there.  The top tower section 
typically has a flat plate about three feet down from the top end on 
which the rotor is mounted.  A thrust bearing is usually mounted at the 
top of the top section to hold the weight of the antenna off the rotor 
mechanism.  You may want to contact Karl at 
http://www.karltashjian.com/lm470.htm for help and parts.

73, Joe
