Motors weight ~30kg each, so, they also work as counterweight. But it will be long time till I get them working, before that will be changing position of antenna manually. Therefore I made crank-handle [ATTACH]95802[/ATTACH] . Found in the garage old and rusty sheave (made of cast iron)  [ATTACH]95796[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]95797[/ATTACH] , cut the middle part out of it (circled yellow) [ATTACH]95798[/ATTACH] , adjusted diameter of the central hole, made feather [ATTACH]95799[/ATTACH] . As cast iron is not easy to weld, attached to it piece of "normal" metal  [ATTACH]95800[/ATTACH] , and welded 24mm bolt head to it. So, with this handle changed azimuth and elevation of the antenna approximately towards due-South satellite.</p></blockquote><p></p>
