Do you have a wee bit more info on this device?? I'm not finding that model online.

Pictures help my addled brain.
 
It is ian azimuth motor two motor sistem one mves antena left to rihgz z the other moves it up and down German comapany EGIS was and probably still is for extremly larhge antenas from 15o to 300 cm a purely profesional systen for sgnal hunters
 
Hamco is a Cheeper clone for profesional feed junting vith a control box nekxt to the receivers for cobtroling such masive motors vith shsrp precision in ordwe zo catch imposbly week signals feeds. Today it is very hard to find and it is used only by old school SX DXers but definetly worthit due to prcision and masibnes.
 
The HAMCO and EGIS EPR103 positioners are built using printed circuit boards from JRC (Japan Radio Company).
I was wondering why there is a toroidal transformer in the mains power supply section when there is already a switching power supply!
It turns out the original power supply was designed for 110V mains voltage, and this transformer is used as an autotransformer to step down 220V to 110V—which is, of course, absurd.
On one of the units I was given, the switching power supply has failed; the components date back to the 1980s and use Japanese part numbers, so this isn't going to be easy!
Compared to the EGIS models, the HAMCO units have an extra board to handle a remote control, which connects to the PIA that manages the local keypad.
The EGIS models do not have a remote control.
 
i have already this schem !
i am drawing a clear schematic with KICAD using this poor quality schematic
 
It is an a American producz Hamco was an a Amerucab Company,
