    Aerial (roof) rotating antenna operation?

    The problem is that there's no motor... Have no idea as to how fast was it rotating much less the power output (torque) provided by it nor the mechanism that joined the motor with the antenna. .

    Aerial (roof) rotating antenna operation?

    Thanks for replying, Audioguru! That's a good explanation, it's a shame that I don't see any labels or engravements to give more details. Nonetheless, I think, since it's all taken apart, that my best chance is to put another dc motor (if I can find a suitable one) & bring four cables to...
