Jeager 1224 EL with 1.2 Fibo

[Turok]

Hello !
sorry,was not @ home
was in my sisters house,and then i have no time,for the internet !

i bought the everything complete in set!
not speratly
,2 years ago,was the last antenna in stock,now the dealer closed his strore,he told me that is the orginal adapter plate from jager,maybe it was not true,never seen the channel master adpter!
so contact jager in taiwain,they must have this part in stock,its part of the EL 1224 System,you only must make the holes,on other places,otherwise,in orginal you can fix it,in iron factory,the do it for me within 5 minutes,2 years ago,then it works,but the problem,with the wrong mount,is always be there,without orginal fibomount and scala,of declination,my dual axis system,will not work like it should be!
in eastern in western satelites,seems to be no one here,to help me to solve this problem

maybe i find a orignal fibo mount for 1,25 m,and then it should work!

on jäger motors i heard,that the have change the production from taiwain to china,now the newer models,are lower in quality,coz inside everything is plastic,and not good quality like the older ones,can anyone confirm this?

sorry i cant go to the roof ,to measure,bacause iam not free from gidiness!

Which adapte plate are you talking about?

 

[Turok]

Hello!
in the jager 1224 EL Set,there was a black adapter plate included,that conects the motor,and the antenna backside,of the mount!
in orginal,the holes,are at the wrong place,so you cant fix it on fibo,without modification,and making new holes!


for most antenna types like gibertini etc ,modification is nesersary!

jager could make a lot of money,when do whould also made this adapter plates for serval antenna types!
every antenna and mount is difrent ,thats the problem,also maybe difrents between older and newer series!.of difrent motor revisons ,i dont know,but i could imagine this!

Yes we all know about that, but in your picture there is another plate which is connected to the dish and the 1224 adapter plate.

Where did you get that plate???

 

[Turok]

hello,this other plate, was also included when i purchase the antenne in complete set,dont have any infos about it,maybe its from channel master,or gibertini,selfmade product by a german satdealer,coz the mount is also from gibertini!
would be great when more satelite dealers ,would make self made construction,i like this!
but the reason,that is complex to made,in mass production,would also be the reason,that not many dealers will ofer special solutions..

gibetini,is a mass market antenna,fibo not...

The Satellite super store used to sell an adapter plate for the fibo and 1224.

But guess what..........no longer made!:-tree

 

[olisun]

I noticed the 1224 without the CM adapter plate aligns perfectly well with the Fibo but the only problem is the direction of the holes on the 1224 are in the wrong direction.

Wouldn't it be easier to create 2 strips of metal brackets which can be bolted onto the 1224 and Fibo? Something similar to what Scopus has done for his CM mount for the Fibo?

In case of Scopus, he has extened the screws on the top part of the dish but this can easily be replaced with something similar he has used for the bottom part of it.

I am finding it difficult to find somebody locally to make those 2 small adapters for me.

Anybody willing to make those 2 adapter plates for me if provide them with the measurements and drawings of exactly what I am looking for?

 

[Snuffer]

No problem if you have the info.


What aboy this system :
egis with extra rotor to scew complete dish the offer me this compleet with cable and egis controlbox.

Today we start with mechanial work and hope that next week a frien of my have time for the software part.

I keep you informet with Photo's of it.

 

[scopus]

You have the CM adapter on your dish, there is also another plate bolted onto to CM adapter plate.

Did this come with the 1224? As it seems to be angled along the dish`s contour.

Here is my mod on a 1224 without using the channel master adaptor plate...

[Snuffer]

[olisun]

No problem if you have the info.

I will get the measurements to you soon... Been to busy and the weather is also very cold and makes it difficult to touch the metal with bare hands.

Hi Guys

I have had my 1.2 metre fibo since Jan 1997, it is the alluminium casting type with the very small motor. It looks nothing like the pictures what I have seen here.
The pictures look to me like the usa version with the huge motor.

My motor packed in 3 years ago and I replaced it with a sharp video capstan motor rated at 14volts. I used a simple step down circuit to use with my pace positioner. I also managed to buy the drive gear from a place in germany who have now closed down. If the nylon gear broke again this will be the end of my current set up and i would need to improvise

Maintained the mount today and it looks as good as new.

Cheers

That nylon gear are 975 pieces in stock.
So have fun and when broken no piont
on greg users site you can get info about it.

Hello Snuffer

Many thanks for your reply which is really good news for me. When I lost my contact in Germany I thought that there were no more parts available.

I hope that I am not breaking forum rules if I ask you for the link to the Gregorian Users site and also where can I obtain replacement parts. I may consider purchasing a spare motor assembly if they are still available


Cheers

follow your ideas and you find it its a information site no comurcial.
