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

[Mike Ryan]

I bolted the Yaesu to the same rotator mounting plate in  my HG-70D tower
where there had previously been a Ham IV...it appears to have the same bolt
pattern. But be mindful of the way that the clamps on the TOP of the rotor
clamp to the mast. These are adjustable (also are aluminum and quite
breakable though replaceable...from HRO or AES) and allows for the mast to
be better centered on the top of the rotator. Good luck...  - Mike

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?
