[TowerTalk] Yaesu G-1000DXA Rtor in LM-470?

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

IIRC That G1000 is like a tailtwister on steroids with heavy Al 
castings. It's big and fairly heavy. It looks identical to the old 
Wilson rotator
An adapter plate is easy to make out of a 1/4" thick Al plate, but it 
needs to be one of the harder alloys. I never had one apart. Replacement 
parts?  Does Yaesu still make them?
