Good Day Was wondering if this issue was ever corrected. I have the same rotator turning an A4S. Symptoms expressed on this post are very similar to what I am experiencing with mine. Unfortunately I have not seen the response to this post. Can anyone help.

information, I need to the ohmic value of the pot. The problem may also be
the plastic drive gear that drives it. The gear appears to have worn down
teeth. (Frankly I have the same problem but I am 66!!!)
Looking up Google tells me that others have had similar problems with the MR
750 and I would like to know of any solutions that anybody has come up with.
Perhaps someone out there will have a spare gear or pot in their junkbox?
The rotator is mounted at the base of the tower. I have had it apart two or
three times over the past few years and have cleaned the pot etc. It seems
to work for a few weeks and then goes off track and the indicator swings
wildly about.
Thanks for any help you can offer
