[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain HDR300 Rotator - Brake Release Solenoid

[Bryan Swadener]

Yes. Craig (Rotor Doc) says he doesn't have any and Hy-Gain doesn't stock much, and the rotator was a modified farm implement unit (NOT manufactured by Hy-Gain). 

I'm open to other suggestions... manufacturer & pn or even just the manufacturer. I have four part numbers for a Guardian solenoid that MAY work. Are there any others? 
 
tnx es vy 73,

Have you checked with Norms Rotor repair or Rotor Dr.?
