[QUOTE=&quot;Denny D, post: 98709, member: 11274&quot;]The Channel Master 9521A is manufactured in lots of thousands and shipped to the USA. Each lot had a different problem. One problem may be solved but another would arise.Most of the issues with the Channel Master 9521A started when the manufacturing was moved from the USA to China. I'll try to recall what all of the issue were. The first lot (boatload) the outdoor motor would get stuck in what I call the &quot;North stop&quot;.&nbsp; The motor would run fine. However, when it would hit the 360 degree stopping position it would simply stop and not start up again. It would be stuck in this position and the motor would just hum.The next batch that came in had the &quot;North stop&quot; problem mentioned above solved but the mast motor on these units would simply quit working in any position. The winding wire used on the motor was too small of gauge and would burn up (fry) when in use. Almost forgot the ball bearings. We had several units that were returned to us and the ball bearings that are used at the main pivot point (where the top throat sets into the main housing) would be rolling around inside of the housing. The housing appearance on the revised Channel Master 9521A rotor is the same. Consumers be aware that there are still old units out there and being sold. The only way I know of to determine the bad units from the revised good is the box it comes in. The print and pictures on the box are different. I will post a picture of the new box later today.I want to be clear to those reading this post that the above issues were from the past. As I mentioned above in my original post we have shipped over 500 Channel Master 9521A rotors out over the past few months. Our customers are using these new units all over the Country and to date we have had zero reports of any problems with the mast motor unit and only 4 issue with the indoor control unit. It is my opinion that the Channel Master 9521A rotor is now reliable. In the future if the 9521A begins to have any issues I will post here.&nbsp; If you're a consumer searching the Net for Channel Master 9521A rotor reviews there are some bad reviews out there.
