We have been using two revolving stages on our latest production and during last nights performance our one controller died , someone let the smoke out !

There's nothing special about revolve motor controllers, just try your local electrical engineering companies, your old controller might be easily repaired, if it's worked all these years it may be worth repairing.Modern controllers use microprocessors and sophisticated circuitry which is great when it's working but can be harder to fix, old gear uses discrete components which are more readily available.
