[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1087897, member: 175144"] For the larger dish projects (one of which is counterbalanced), I have a couple of Uniden UST771s for the actuator driving, which are 2" diameter superjacks, (there is a set of Saginaws lying around, but they are more noisy ). The second 771 of these took over from an Echostar AD3000 when the software got corrupted, but I have since acquired two more which sit in reserve. The motors outside are more important though, and in particular the distances of the end points away from the polarmount bearings (the greater the distance the better). I have been known to use an Ajak horizon to horizon gear box on the old 3.1m solid petal patriot and Unimesh 12 footer, neither of which required counterweights. Last time I was experimenting I connected it up to the Technomate V box and it ran without trouble. I would not spend money on a laser pointer, a decent metal ruler / tape measure will get you within a mm, plus you have the analyser for fine tuning. [/QUOTE]
