I cant say if original or not but when i was looking I found a few places on the net advertising polar mounts and everyone i tried to place an order with gave same reply"sorry no stock item is discontinued".- dunno why they dont update sites


So went for Jaeger 1224 instead and even that wasn't easy to find!

pipino

this one looks like they still have it ,as if you see other polar mounts are advertised as out of stock..did you try them too??

kenny1234

I tried quite a few all showing in stock and when i tried to order always the same "no longer available"- i didnt however try who you have found, you never know you might get lucky, i m happy with jaeger 1224 now gave up looking for supplyer that actually had stock

pipino

i do have 2 smr 1224 one of them is with EL motor(used previously with Gibertini OP1.50) .also the adapting plate for CM1.20 ,the problem with jeager motors is the noise ,my plan is to use a 24" actuator on one of the 2 CM1.20 i´v just snached with the running CM1.80..lets see if its realy available from that shop..cheers

My motor is quiet as mouse lol, right outside my patio window!

I did fill post with sand to help deaden noise though

Good job you put the sand there, and not in the Motor ..................

my jaeger 1224 is quiet and my pole is empty i didn't bother to seal it up as its just a short piece between the t&k brackets

did you try sateuropa as i called them ages back and they said they had some but i bought 1224 instead

surprised satellite superstore hasn't had them copied as they sell the dishes.

Sand in pole- sawdust in motor

worked a treat pmsl

I think it is more a matter of opinion. I think my 1224 is quiet, but, even though it is 25 metres from the house I can still hear it when I change channel.

I've got a QARL 3624+ here (not rigged up to anything at the minute). I don't know what your actuator is but these are very course, only 36 pulses per inch, giving 864 pulses over the full stroke, and most of those pulses are bunched up in one place on the arc where the actuator is at 90º.

Shipping to Spain looks like it could be a problem. Look at this:By the way, I ordered one of these a few months ago from Demon Multimedia, who had it shown as available on their website. Anyway to cut a long story short they charged me for an item they didn't have and it took me a month to get a refund.

pipino

i found another french place they show as available ,i managed to make the order (about 100€ including shipping to spain),also received the confirmation of the order via email..now just waiting if realy i would receive it as an original mount or a cheap clone..will keep you posted...cheers

wod

i think a member on here GreenmanBelg, managed to get one from a french supplier, might be an idea to ask him ?

pipino

yes thanx to his advise i did check that supplier (allsatcom)and they did have a kit ,but the problem it was a full antenna + polar mount and not polar mount only..in my case i have already the CM120 AZ/EL anteenas, the one i found was this one _http://transplanet.fr/boutique/info_produit.asp?num=3592&fam=4 ,did anybody try them ??

Have you tried sateuropa.co.uk, they had them listed.

I tried sateuropa a few days ago, no cm 1.20 polar mounts or J 1224 motors in stock or available ! may have stock in a month or two, likewise a replacement for the 1224 motor which is not being made any more.

The motorised market as a whole is taking a beating at the moment and this has led to a vacuum on decent equipment for larger installs.

I do know there are 1224 motors at DRS in Leatherhead. Polarmounts for the Andrew/CM antennas are of course like the proverbial rocking horse.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

I picked up a new polar mount for my Andrew dish the other day which i have yet to install i was told that they are no longer made but i might go for a 1224 HH

Pipino,

Used transplanet to purchase an inverto black ultra (which works great!!) arrived okay but took two weeks to come. Not very good at sending emails either.

You could look at _www.2galli.fr, I bought my TD 88 from them and their service was really good.
