[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 812749, member: 187442"] Hi VS, I can't take a picture but I can tell you how I was told to set up my old Jaeger 1224, and similarly the Motek H180. Instead of using a positioner, in my case an old Echostar receiver, I had the motor, on a work bench, and used a 12V battery, one I borrowed from my house alarm, to move the motor, to the desired position, prior to installation. With this method you can have the motor pointing upwards, as it was manufactured to be installed, thus viewing the scale, and move the motor using the battery. I had to move mine about 2 degrees east so that the 0 would be pointing at true south when aligned to 0.8W. [/QUOTE]
