[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1086019, member: 178786"] To the best of my knowledge there are no consumer grade satellite receivers currently being manufactured that are capable of powering a 36V motor. I think that you are going to have to go for a two box solution, one box for the 36V actuator and the polarity control, another box to receive the pictures. If your AD3000 is still working you could use this as your 36V actuator and polarity controller and use a modern consumer grade satellite receiver for the pictures. Looking at the picture of the plate on the rear side of the dish the "Type" details are not visible, it is the "Type" details that indicate the original part number of the reflector including the size. If you have a need for dual axis motorisation on your dish for Azimuth and Elevation then a Research Concepts RC2000 is a single box solution for this. It can drive two x 36V actuators in addition to driving servo motors for skew etc. Just a question, is polarity skew adjustment mandatory at the moment to get you back up and running? The majority of C-Band satellites receivable from a UK location are circular polarity, lessening the need for fine skew control. You could get up and running without polarity skew control and add it back later? For Ku-Band, if you use a Universal twin probe LNB and align the polarity correctly for 0.8W at the centre of your arc then the polar mount traversing the arc should automatically align the skew correctly per satellite.
