As martin requested in another thread "Thank you beavs, anything really on the moving parts i am making my own mount as you know and anything to look at could alter my design, i also like looking at quality dishes so a nice front view would be nice and the LNB set up you have on big bro
"
here are some pics of a CM polar mount for a 2.4m & 3.0m. first some nice pics of a 2.4m (not my dish .... fellow usa forum member's )
how the back frame looks like on a big CM
now pics of elisha with dish tipped full east for actuator winter maintenance
how the back normally looks like.
how my actuator is mounted
View attachment 71114 my c/ku feedhorn with plated c band probes visible center tube is a standard ku band waveguide to connect to ku lnb probes.
the back end of the feedhorn with my 4 pll lnbs (2c-band/2 ku-band)
a front pic
a bloody good thing I decided to do a maintenance on the actuator .... one or more of the gaskets failed with serious rust to the commutator & windings ....
its a wonder the motor ran with rust like that. so my spare actuator will be given an overhaul & put into service.
