[QUOTE="AndyX, post: 473203, member: 195990"] thanks for the pics. They gave me confidence in removing the top. I have extracted the motor and brought it indoors. My intention is to try attaching the motor by a short length of 5 core to the Echostar, which I know works and see if the motor still shows signs of life. If it is dead I guess I will have to open the motor up an look for any damage. My concern is what caused the dish to shoot west to begin with. I would be fine adjusting a the dish to a satellite and then the dish would suddenly take of to the west, never the east. Switching the receiver off stopped the motor but switching the receiver back on allowed the dish to continue its lunge west.I am hoping it may be a reciver fault.I am not sure what to do next if these plans do not work, but if I can't get it going I do have my new remote controlled Dalek to play with:-flame [/QUOTE]
