[QUOTE="altis, post: 89378, member: 188005"] I understand a bit more now. The motor I chose is the Metronic H-H pole mount from here: [url="http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/searchPage2.jsp?newSearch=true&Nty=1&Ntt=motor%2C+h-h+pole+mount&N=401&y=0&showImages=true&Nto=se00595&x=0&Ntk=gensearch"]http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/searchPage2.jsp?newSearch=true&Nty=1&Ntt=motor%2C+h-h+pole+mount&N=401&y=0&showImages=true&Nto=se00595&x=0&Ntk=gensearch[/url] Good price and it looks a very good construction. Not surprising really - after a little detective work I'm fairly certain this is OEMed for them by Jaeger. However, there's a basic flaw in the design. It can only be fitted 'pin up'. In fact the manual warns against fitting it upside down. This means that the dish is high up and located away from the axis of rotation. On motors that are installed with the pin down, the bend of the pin pulls the dish towards the axis. With this arrangement the axis passes through the dish somewhere in the middle of the back of it - probably near the CoG. At least I know what to look for next time! [/QUOTE]
