I keep having issues with my Technomate TM-2600 M2 Motor. I purchased roughly a year back from eBay in brand new condition and it went up around July time. Since December it's been problematic (thus, leading to a few threads from me). At first it kept resetting the 'zero' point, and I then had to manually reset the motor a few times.
After about 3 or 4 of times of doing that, it was stuck on the orange light and was not moving at all. I found a thread from another forum about a user who had the same issue and he rectified it by first disconnecting and then reconnecting the daughter board. This solved the issue for me and its been back up for about 4/5 weeks now.
Now its gone back to the first error, and thinks the 'zero' point is 20e. I assume I have a dodgy unit and rather than attempting to keep on fiddling with it, I would rather just buy something new. I would appreciate any recommendations. Most of the motors I have seen going around are second hand. I am tempted to get another Technomate as on the odd chance a new one pops up here and there. However, if anyone knows of a better motors, (preferably brand new) I would really appreciate that.
I have a 1m Kathrein Dish, about 7kg in weight. If I ever upgrade, it would most likely be to something like a Laminas 1.2m, which has a similar weight. It is about 7 feet of the ground.
Thanks
