[TowerTalk] Name that rotor

[Scott Honaker]

Many years ago I found a lonely-looking rotor at a hamfest.  It was just the rotor itself - no controller, manual, mast clamps, etc.  It was brand new, no scratches or dirt and looked EXACTLY like one of the Orion 2800 rotors.  I just couldn't leave it sit there.  It's been sitting all these years and now I'd like to use it.  

I have to assume it's an Orion 2800 with an AC motor.  Recently I found a reference to an Orion 2300.  I couldn't find any picures so I don't know if that looks similar.  If it looks similar, it's possible that's what I have.  The casting and mounting plate look identical to the 2800 pictures I find on the web and mine has a 7-pin plug with all 7 wires present.  The only writing on it is "US PAT." in the top of the rotor casting.

I need to accurately identify this unit, then find a matching controller.  The controller problem seems solvable.  How do figure out exactly what I have?

Thanks!
