[TowerTalk] G-2800SDX rebuild notes/videos/advice?

[Grant Saviers]

Some info which may help since the internals are similar at 
http://wf0gm.fpage.com/rotor1.htm

I've had more problems with the controller pointer mechanism than the 
rotator (2800) or spring for a Green Heron.

My preferred grease is SuperLube TFE loaded full synthetic for 
temperature stability, long life, and corrosion protection.

You might need to replace the balls if rusted, McMaster has them in 
stainless.
