[UK-CONTEST] Pre BERU

[Clive GM3POI]

This may interest some. Before the contest I had to take down my big tower 
and take out
the Rotator a PST71 this baby weighs in at 70lbs. I knew there was a pot' 
problem and had to be changed. On removing the PST71 I found that the bottom 
half of the casing had become loose. It is held by 4 bolts and was installed 
as supplied.
    The interesting part of this story is that I had exactly the same thing 
happen with a PST61. I have solved the situation by dismantling each rotator 
and getting the two halves welded. I suggest anybody using these rotators 
check the casing security when they have an opportunity.  If I ever buy 
another Italian rotator I'll re engineer it before installation.
