[TowerTalk] WTB: Steel Ring gear for T2X Rotator

I was on that T2X rebuild treadmill for about45 years.  Three years ago, 
on XE2K's recommendation, I switched to an Alpha Spid RAK with Green 
Heron Controller.  Green Heron has a package deal.  I think KF7P has a 
package deal too.  Then pick up the cable from Wireman, and the short 
adapter plate from KF7P, and you're good to go for about $1.8K.

No more rebuilds, no more stuck brakes, no flaky potentiometers, no 
broken gears, no keeping a spare on hand.  Digital controller interfaces 
beautifully with N1MM Logger and other programs.  Rotor has been turning 
a KT-34XA and 40-2CD without a glitch for three years.  It survived 
Hurricane Hilary last summer.
