Hi Gary,
I was considering getting the Ham 4 rotor and control box.  I don't know
anyone except Norm's Rotor Service that repairs rotors.  When is the last
time that the Ham 4 was used and how old is it?  What would you be willing
to sell it for?

Gary,

I have one of the modified  ham 4 control boxes with a ham 4 rotor that I've

been considering selling. I can't swear as to the workability of the unit 
but if you find out that it can be worked on if nessasary I'll certainly 
make you a good deal on it. Let me know.

Gary

Norm's Rotor Service (he's on the web) sells a modified Ham 4 rotor
and control box that can be used.  I use a standard Ham 2 rotor with
an outboard audio oscillator across three terminals on the back.  It
was made according to an old QST article from about 25 years
ago.  There is also a schematic from Handihams that is for such an
outboard audio oscillator.
