Excellent questions.

I may have mentioned in the original post that the rotator doesn't work. The indoor part seem to work, the dial moves when turned, and the motor in the control unit moves and audibly sounds like mine at home. I pulled the cover off the bottom, all wires are intact. I wiggled the mast while the owner actuated the rotator control, nothing happened. He needs a new one. Maybe. I have a voltmeter but don't know what to look for. He could just need new 3 wire lead.

Milwaukee would be a bonus.
