[TowerTalk] Ham Antenna Rotator: The Teardown

[Rod Greene]

 I confused the rotor lubrication with that of a thrust bearing. Hard to keep track when you get older (grin). 73, and P.S. It's below 25deg F here this morning and yesterday morning and my T2X won't turn. When it warms up, it turns okay. It's getting old and stiff like me and doesn't like cold weather! Rod

  Years ago I remember reading to not use grease on the ball bearings as it just attracts dust and dirt. And, that the design from the factory did not call for grease. Is this correct or should one use a grease on the ball bearings? 73, Rod/w7zrc
