Hi Guys,

I've discovered on one of my Technomate DiSEqC motors the arm has some 'play' in it.

Does this mean this motor is no longer fit for purpose, can it be fixed easily?
Is there anything specific that causes this?

Can't find it ATM but there is a thread and possible fix , is it left right play or up down or both, I could wobble mine quite a bit, got a new one in the end

It's left right play. I can move it with my hand about 1mm or 1 or 2 degrees.
