Rotor Shortage
John Pearce
Why are antenna rotors so hard to get?
The current situation in China has many items, including rotors in short supply.
Channel Master Rotors
Channel Master, our most popular rotor for the last 38 years is no longer in production. Channel Master has moved production of their amplifiers to Eastern Europe and is working to ramp up production of rotors over there as well. To date we have been told that there are a few more modifications to be made before production begins. International Satellite purchased as many rotors as they could to offer to their customers, as the Channel Master Rotor was the Top Performer in the industry. Today we still have a limited quantity available.
AntennaCraft RotorsThe AntennaCraft Rotor, by Tandy were sold exclusively at Radio Shack Stores. Both Radio Shack and Antenna Craft were owned by the Tandy Corporation.
By mid 2012, all Radio Shacks had closed their doors and Tandy filed for bankruptcy. International Satellite & Antenna purchased a large quantity of AntennaCraft Rotors and other antenna products from the liquidation. We still have the AntennaCraft rotor available and recommend it for small, mid-range and large HDTV Antennas.
The RCA Rotor is the only rotor that is still in production today, and is available in limited quantities. The RCA rotor is a "good" product to work with small to mid-range antennas, but we do not recommend it with the big Winegard and Channel Master Antennas.
