CDE Rotor HAM III/IV Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
In my adventures in tower building, I was given a HAM III controller with the motor I bought from a local club.

The controller was iffy so after the reviews here, I contacted W2HP/Pete to have him look it over and repair as needed.

The outline:
1. Super-fast response time. The controller was junk...and he explained what had happened.
2. Offered a HAM IV that he has ready to go. At a very reasonable price.
3. I had the replacement a few days after sending payment.
4. It works great.

Summary:
Contact Pete. He's fast, knowledgeable, skilled, and worth every bit that he charges.

Pete is honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and personable. He helped me out with a repair, with parts, and answered all my questions patiently.

Great job! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Sent Pete two older Ham 2 rotors for review and repair. Heard back once he got inside them a few days later with recommendations for repair. Out the door a week later at a very reasonable price for sure! Will be sending him more as I have need. Great communications!

Great Guy! Fair Pricing! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I sent Pete 2 - CD45II's and a control box for repairs.
Great communication and he told me what was wrong. All repaired like new, or better than new.
Fair pricing.
Very pleased with his speedy service.

Excellent Service Fast Turnaround and Reasonable Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had contacted Pete to refurbish 2 rotors for me. I had some initial questions and he was kind enough to spend the time answering them for me and offered some excellent advice. I must say Pete certainly knows his stuff about these rotors! I sent both units to him, a HAM M and HAM II. Within a day of receipt, he had them evaluated and emailed me exactly what they needed. I gave him the go ahead and he kept me well informed every step of the way. Within 2 days he contacted me to let me know the rotors were completed. Both units were cleaned up, repainted nicely and look and work like new. The price was very reasonable and he shipped them back promptly. Turnaround time was within 1 week. I am very pleased with the service he provided and would recommend him highly for all you rotor service needs.

Guru of rotor repair Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was going to buy a new rotor. But the pandemic put a new rotor out 3 months plus to get one.
I emailed Pete about issues and cost. Sent him rotor and repaired and sent back in little more than a week. Its up and running.
I sent another for repair already. Will have a back up for next time.
I should be 6 ft under by the next repair.
Pete's fantastic rotor repair service. The best in my book.

Great honest advice and service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Contacted Pete to check on having a Ham IV that I bought used gone over before I mounted it on the tower. Had several questions concerning the rotor and modifications that Pete had answers for with an honest opinion based on 60+ years of servicing rotors. Sent the rotor to Pete and received a call from him the same day it was delivered to him. Was to my surprise when he advised me that it was a Ham M rotor and not the Ham IV that was advertised I purchased. Pete had torn it apart and indicated that someone tried to rebuild it with Ham IV parts that were not designed for the M rotor and it was due for a major malfunction. Went over all that was needed and then offered a rebuild Ham IV as a replacement at a great price. Agreed and had the new rotor two days later. I have had other rotors rebuilt by another repair service but will be using Pete for any future repairs from now on. He does great work at a very reasonable price with very quick turn around and communications. Thank you Pete

EXCELLENT SERVICE Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Peter did a complete overhaul of a broken Ham 4. It works excellent. I will need sunglasses when its back on the tower. The paint job is great. His e-mails and phone conversations were great. Thanks Pete....job well done!

TX2 Brought back to Life Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I sent Pete a TX2 that was a hamfest find and I knew it needed help. Boy did it! It was almost past point of repair but Pete was able to revive the ole boy and it now works like it should. I had small issue when I got it back but it was entirely on my end (connector issue) and he helped me find and correct the issue. Extremly great repair. Very fast turnaround time and I'm now a happy camper.

Reconditioned Ham 4 better than new Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Peter is located conveniently in Northern NJ, for all us NY area hams who want to drop off their equipment. I know Peter does Ham 4 and similar rotors; give him a call. He quoted a very fair price, did the work right away and was a joy to spend a few minutes with. My rusty old Ham 4 is gleaming better than new. Highly recommended!
