You can't buy repair parts. Rotor's are 1970's stuff, and unless you buy one of the expensive larger ham radio rotors, there just aren't any good consumer models available anymore.

People combine antennas now using a Televes SmartKom, or in some cases a simple splitter used in reverse MIGHT work. Televes SmartKom 531981, "Rotor Killer" Antenna Combiner/Preamp

I have a SmartKom myself. I'll never use a rotor again. In fact my last one was taken down in 1989.

All 3 antennas combined with a SmartKom, All channels available at the same time, all the time:
