[Elecraft] OT Help to find rotator part

[Fred Smith]

You need to post this on the Yaesu reflector or call Yaesu in CA. and find
out if one is even available in JA. They have always repaired all of my
rotors at Yaesu and I have always had good luck there. If it's very old a
new one may be in order, once you have a Yaesu it's hard to go back to one
of the US made ones I have found just a better rotor.

73,

Fred/N0AZZ

Dave I am not familiar with the Yaesu brand rotor. If it is like the
American brand rotors (or perhaps made by an American company for Yaesu) the
pot is non-standard. I would check with an Alliance brand repair manual and
see if the parts are similar. Parts for most American rotors are available
online.

Hi folks.  Apologies for the bandwidth, especially today, but I wonder if
anyone can help me locate a 500 ohm pot that's used for direction indication
in the Yaesu G-400RC rotator?  I've been on a search mission now for quite a
while and have achieved a 100% failure record thus far.  In the instruction
manual for the G-400, it's item 6 in the list of parts on page 14.  The pot
in the rotator is the same as the one in the RC, the round controller.

 

Maybe there's one in a junkbox somewhere, or a dealer has one lying around?
I'd really be most grateful.

 

Thanks & 73.  Dave G3TJP
