I bought a house out in the boonies and I can only get tv from the
antenna, unless I spend a fortune on satellite. I dont watch it much
so the antenna is fine. The antenna has an Alliance Tenna Rotor on
the pole, but the control box is gone. I'd like to build a simple
control. I was told the motor needs 24volts, but is it AC or DC, and
how do I reverse it?. I know I wont have the pointer, so I will have
to go outside to see which way it is pointing, but as long as I can
move it. Does anyone have a schematic for this, and also know what
numbered wire screws do what on the rotor?

The other option is to buy a used control and there are some on Ebay.
The only problem is how do I know which one will work with my rotor.
Obviously it would have to be an Alliance brand, but beyond that, are
they all the same (other than appearance), or do I need a certain one
to match my rotor?

Thanks to all

Mine is not for sale on eBay, but I have a control box that I used
with my rotor (which is now lost).

The control box says: Alliance Tenna Rotor. Model U-100, I just
tested it and it works. It has four wires at the bottom. It has
been modified so it rotates across the north and has to be reversed
from the south, in other words, you can swing past north going between
east and west, but if you go to the south, it stops at south and has
to go all the way around to get back to the south. It was an easy
change, but I had to constantly swing between north east and north
west.

write me at my call at towncorp dot net.
