How Repair Channel Master Rotor Parts List

**Joined:** Dec Sat 07, 2019 3:41 am **Posts:** 1

I accept a brand new Rotor (never used) but the Controller Box has a plastic gear that is driven by the Ac motor that has disintegrated from quondam age. Information technology drives two other gears and they drive the control knob rotary switch mechanism...... Does anyone have whatever links or info on finding a replacement gear or a ready of gears ? I tried emailing Channel Master and of form they have no parts as all their products are at present digital !
Any polite suggestions welcome. Thank you VA7DB Vancouver BC Canada.

That was common fifty-fifty dorsum when those were fairly new. The gears in both the control box and the rotor are weak past design, and fail hands.

Unfortunately, there is no source for repair parts. Back in the day we simply threw the command box away and got some other one as the unabridged box was not expensive, and would accept cost more in parts and labor to replace gears than the cost of a new box.

There is a remote chance some onetime time antenna installer (if they are still in business) might take another unused control box in stock with good gears. Otherwise your only possible source is to find a used box which still has skillful gears. Supposedly all 3-wire Channel Main control boxes are interchangeable, fifty-fifty if the physical advent is different, just the internal parts may not be.

As with almost former tech stuff, the original manufacturers never figured out how to harvest gobs of money out
of the spare-parts stop of the business organisation- so they quietly walked away from it equally soon as the coast was clear.

Military/spy bureau electronics are an exception: the Pentagon pays enormous bucks to contractors who are willing to provide continuing spares and maintenance for their 1960s era hardware.

You might be able to extract a few more months/years of performance from this unit by finding a used unit of measurement that was scrapped for other reasons- but I have a feeling that that would exist a fruitless search. Antenna rotator controllers but don't have the "sex appeal" of vintage radios or TV sets, and consequently about of them met the aforementioned fate as VCRs, viii-fleck PCs, and camcorders, all much-desired items back in the 1980s.

This is just me, Merely I would look for gears in the antique clock industry, through Timesavers, Ronell, or Black Forest Imports.
Perhaps for a Quartz clock, but even contumely gears volition work, That said, You can make a jig to brand your own nylon gear as well.
Proficient Luck and have fun, Keep it ticking!

While attending a garage auction on Sunday August 23rd, I picked up a 9510A for 50 cents. A rare merely non impossible accomplishment. I would also recommend Craig's list every bit an alternative source. Keep it ticking

Cost is ever an Outcome some of the Mecatronics type gears stuff may fit? However many serious clock repair places (equally noted) take CNC machines gear up for gear cutting. Peradventure from meliorate cloth?

Ahoy! VA7DB

Solve the controller problem or not???

It's been 8 months :roll:

Sometimes this happens, all the same in the face of the probability of non getting new ones and the fact that these gears failed (are they sacrificial) maybe at that place is telescopic for re-calculating the loading before cutting replacements. There is a lot of stress on some clock gears & i clock here is Circa 1903 and still going.

CNC and printers are software driven & in many cases the same sort of engineering seen 3D dimensioning an ancient structure can exercise the same for the gear and fifty-fifty take information from a photographic camera & convert that. Depending on the printer it could print it, however, my inclination would say that the gears may be better milled by a CNC.

And then actually information technology just comes down to being a price & inconvenience, rather than "mission incommunicable". With the small gear as an appendage, the CNC is quite capable of making an actress long separate one & cut a toothed pigsty for it.

Is there a replacement for the 9510? I use my antenna all the time and it is now almost worthless without this.

The general consensus from me is that if you get the dimensions, tooth pitch & count all of which can exist calculated in most cases anyway. Its all an practice in money (as earlier). Someone out there volition be able to mill another one. My lathe broke a gear, no parts bachelor, and so another was milled from a blank and installed: End of story.

If something was made one time, it can be made again. All the same, the setup costs for making a one-off role (or even limited-run production lot) are the killer. If you have the money, whatever gear can be reproduced in any medium required.

That is my point: Merely engineering has inverse radically, even since I had the neglect on my lathe & information technology was a cluster gear. Setting up these days in even a smaller enterprise similar a Jeweller, or Jobbing shop has gone to calculator. I did a course recently on some of these machines, like a CNC router and laser cutter etc. Basically y'all can take a detailed dimensioned 3D drawing, or one produced from a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation scanner, feed it in and the machine cuts it out: Milling is not what it used to exist when I learned turning & fitting basics, in the 60's.

One of many to show what these multi-functional computer driven gadgets that come in many sizes, can do:

. Then of course at that place is printing: A revolution.

This may brand the reply to the trouble, much more cost effective. Making a new one is non a major effect. Finding one difficult and in total agreement. Money the possible killer.

So the short answer to the mail service: Yep! They tin can be replaced: At a price.

I ran into this same problem with my rotator controller, and looked into 3D printing a new gear based on photos of the original. Ane issue that came up was finding an appropriate blazon of plastic filament and a print head capable of the detail level needed. I ultimately gave up and used an old Channel Master controller I had kicking around.

Marcc

As has been indicative by the failure of which I accept seen many in that white plastic, it may have been built with junior material in the first place, not withstanding that some parts are sacrificial.

The Slasher I am currently painting has a clutch set to a pre determined tension, afterward which it slips alternatively others take a shear pivot, such, that on jamming, information technology "shears" and the drive "free wheels".

They do make a difficult plastic for gears, or you can employ metal. I am admittedly unconvinced that a gear cannot exist made. This is an Australian manufacturer I Googled, there must be people big & small over there that can do the chore and they will know what to use.

I am not bankroll away from my statement that this is just an exercise in money: Not ane in mechanically incommunicable. If there exists more people with the same issue: Cheaper by the dozen.
