Default Need sources for pot with planetary drive

I need the form factor for modifications to antenna
rotator assemblies


Do you mean the rotator or the controller?

For the rotator, you can maybe use a standard pot with gearing. I made an
old 3 wire rotator a 5 wire with a pot an a 4 to 3 gear. One gear was fixed
to the output shaft, the other to the pot, so that one full rotation (360
degrees) of the rotator shaft turned the pot its full path, or therabouts
(270 degrees). The controller just had a typical 270 degree pot and a 3/4
scale that rotated N-E-S-W-N.
