[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1112366, member: 178786"] For today's offering we return to the dismantling stage but this time it is for the Az/El motorised dish. The motorised Az/EL mount, actuators and motorised skew mechanism are part of the two setups I brought back so it seems reasonable to include a few details in this topic. This one required a bit more time to dismantle and remove from the compound at S4C. The tripod ground stand did not have a removable leg and was a bit awkward to manoevre through the gate but we managed it as a 4 man job down the steps and onto the van. Similarly, the Renold goliath actuators were a three man job to remove from the mount and a two man job to carry. The electrics had been previously isolated before we arrived on site and we were given permission to cut the cabling at whatever point we felt appropriate in the compound. All in all, the dismantling and loading proceeded OK. Pictures of various parts of the Az-El motorised mount are attached below. .
