Usually those things slip for a reason which prevents you from having to 
purchase a new rotator. OTOH sometimes they slip just due to a poor mast 
clamp.   Still it's not a good idea to pin the mast to the rotator unless 
you have a rotator that is nearly indestructable and that eliminates all the 
non worm gear drive rotators.
