[TowerTalk] SteppIR Motor Replacement?

[Tony]

All:

It appears that one of the motors on my 3 element SteppIR has failed. I 
noticed the SWR had shifted badly on several bands so I thought it might 
need recalibrating. During the calibration process, I heard what 
appeared to be the sound of a jammed motor similar to what a jammed 
electric drill might sound like.

My guess is that the motor itself might be fine, but it could be the 
beryllium-copper element that's damaged or possibly a broken sprocket.
Whatever the case maybe, I might need a new motor and was wondering if 
any one has priced them?

My antenna is about 13 years old - hope it's worth investing in.
