Any 90cm dish will work e.g. Gilbertini. Motor: something like a Moteck SG2100 or similar work OK.

Using the search function will answer the image question as it's asked quite often. Don't use Gemini after version 4.1

Be careful which clone you buy as some of the DB500 clones dont drive motors very well due to poor quality power supplies in them - the Eagles are notorious for this
