[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 887436, member: 325666"] As suspected I could no longer reach 57 East as it was .. removed the motor cover and pinched 2 more 'teeth' on the fully extended limit switch cam .. So even though I cannot see a picture from Amhara at this time of year (TT in leaf ...) I did get a 2db confirmation that 57East is being reached. So looks like I may get away with this but will lose 64 East .. No great loss.. 62 East may still be possible..but for what is over there.. The better choice is alignment centred on Intersat 21 is of greater benefit. What I have noticed is that the jack has become much noisier and sounds laboured.. Wouldn't you think they'd provide oil injection points at the connection end.. A good dose might delay the inevitable jack failure. As I have said before ..I'm lucky to get 2 years out of an actuator.. Mainly due to the weather in Manchester.. More than our share of rain. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
