[TowerTalk] HAM IV vs. Tailtwister

[WB4UNA at aol.com]

I have 2 T2X and they have been up for 10 years and have not  had any 
problems  with them. They have turned  big antennas and small  ones.

I  too have a Ham V and a TX2. The Ham V is about 15 years old and works  like
a charm. The TX2 is one year old, came unpainted,
I primed and  painted it and after a year it's about to fall apart
"literally". The metal  is deteriorating to the point
it's all white and chalky.

Not built  like they used to be.

The rotor at the top?  Easy, TX has 6 bell housing  bolts the IV has 5 bolts
that hold the top to the bottom.
All being  equal the IV and TX controls are the same, the old controls have
metal  cases and the new controls have plastic cases.

How do I know, got duped  by a fellow that sold me a IV as a TX before I knew
the difference between  the two. Darn jerk went SK before I got my money
back, so every now and  then I go and stomp on his grave.

P.S. My first  Ham IV is still up on the first tower, it is ~25 years old
never been off  the tower, works like a charm every contest weekend twisting
a TH6 all over  the place.
