There is something else that burns up in those Yaesu analog rotators besides the lamps. If you leave your rotator turned on all the time, you wont get much life out of either the lamps or the servo motors. What I do is leave the rotator turned off unless its actually being used to rotate the ant. Which is easy to do since the on/off switch sits right next to the position buttons. I've never had to service the control box on the two Yaesu rotators in operation here. But if you leave it turned on you certainly will. Someday Yaesu might update their old line of analog rotators to the digital world. Otherwise -- they are excellent rotators and a true value. Frank W7is
