[TowerTalk] any source for a GA-3000 ???

[Larry]

I think it roughly equivalent to Leeson's book recommendation except that
Leeson used a BMW part. Or was it Lawson's book?

Right, I think they are a shock absorber so if you let go of the brake too 
soon it won't slam the rotator, also to help prevent shock loading due to 
gusty winds.  I think.  Seems pretty pricey for two stamped plates and four 
polyurethane bumpers, though.

What is it?  It appears to be a rotator mounting plate or adapter plate to 
fit a particular rotator to a specific tower.  If so, couldn't you take the 
dimensions to a local machine shop, or does it have some torsional 
absorption properties as the name would imply?

Have you tried Texas Towers? I doubt they'd stock them, but might be willing 
to order one. HRO?

A bit of searching turned up

watch out for line wrap.
They do show in stock.


73 es good luck
