[TowerTalk] RE : OR2800 rotator: AC or DC motor?

[hermans]

G2000rc an older one runs with (2)AC motor 26 volt ( 2 coils to invers
). break voltage AC 39 volt. 
If useable info I modified this type slightly, because of bad switches.

Nope.

I'm 99% sure they all had DC motors. I think the new ones (which I have
on 
of) a higher torque rating. I use 100 feet of 2 conductor #18 zip cord
for 
the motor on mine. For the control I use 2 conductor #28 telephone wire.
I 
love the rotor and have had no issues with it. I use the RS-232 control 
with my Writelog logging software.
