After a few months of my 1.2 mtr dish being down because the old mounting bracket was rusted through I have reinstalled it.
Before putting it up I centralised the motor on the back of my spiderbox 9000 and only after my clever 14 year old daughter told me that I had the link coax going to the LNB socket and not the receiver socket could I get it to work. I hate clever kids LOL.
After getting it all put together and back on the wall I thought something didnt look right but connected everything to try it out and align it.
After moving the dish east and west I discovered that the dish was going the opposite direction then it dawned on me I had the motor on upside down. It is an old Cryptik H to H and the arm goes upwards not downwards as most motors do.
It now appears the motor is juddering so I think I will renew it so I am looking for advice on the best motor.
I dont want to spend a fortune but and I have a 1.2 mtr alloy dish which has worked happily on a cryptik for nearly 10 years .
all suggestions welcome.
