[QUOTE="superswede66, post: 459620, member: 273473"] Hi from a newbie on this forum. I have a 90cm Gregorian dish with a Fibo motor. When moving the dish it doesn't sound quite as free-moving as it used to. What is the best way to service the motor and cogs etc and with what should I lubricate it? I have never removed the motor or done anything else to it in the 8 years I've had it and it has always been good with no problems at all, but I'm sure it wouldn't mind a bit of TLC. I use an Echostar LT8700 analogue receiver positioner and have just updated my digital receiver to a Technomate 5400 after my old Humax/Digiquest F1-CI decided to pack up. Thanks for any help. :) p.s. hope the pictures attach OK. [/QUOTE]
