[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain T2X Rotator Question

[Bill Jackson]

I received a response that answered my question.  It looks like I'll be
ordering a new motor on Monday.

Thanks again to the Towertalk gang, a great resource for information!

has excessive vertical play, which is allowing the bottom of brass pinion on
the motor to catch on the third spur gear.  I assume the top of motor shaft
is supposed to have some type of retaining ring to keep the shaft from
dropping down inside the motor.  Can anyone tell me what type of retaining
ring this is?  It is not listed or shown on the parts diagram, since it is a
sub-part of the motor assembly.  Hopefully I can find a suitable substitute
at the local hardware store.  The motor assembly is $70.00!
