[TowerTalk] Protecting screw contacts on rotor

[Mike Miller]

I'm getting ready to install the rotor on my tower, but wanted to 
protect the contacts from corrosion and oxidation.  I'm using an older 
style Ham-IV rotor, which has the screw contacts, not the plug.    I've 
still got to clean up the housing, which shows some oxidation, but that 
should be pretty easily done.  The screws are rusted, and could probably 
stand to be replaced.  The rotor works just fine on the bench, and will 
probably work just as well on the tower (fortunately it's at the base of 
this tower and not the top), but I want to ensure it's continued 
operation.  I don't really want to have to work on the rotor each and 
every season.  The previous owner used a tuna can duct-taped to the 
bottom of the rotor, but that looked sort of "rigged" to me, and I'd 
like to avoid that, especially considering the extent of the engineering 
that I've done on this installation.  Short of rebuilding the rotor 
completely and replacing the screw terminal strip with the plug, does 
anyone have a suggestion on how best to protect the screw contacts on 
the bottom of the rotor?  Thanks for the help!
