The original OR2800 had an ac motor and direction sending  potentiometer.

I posted  recently about a rotator that
looked like the OR2800 on M2's web site.
I  opened it up and discovered that it
has an AC motor and a 500 ohm pot, not  a pulse
generator.  The motor label said Orion
on it.  I am  wondering if this is some
older model.  

I have a T2X control  box.  It appears
I should be able to use it with this
rotor.   Possible problems would be wrong
pot resistance, or not enough 24VAC  power.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts
on  this.
