[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 390610, member: 183150"] Loose bolts on the motor, easily cured, backlash in the motor gear train, adjustable, damaged pinion and/or drive pin, replaceable :) It is unlikely that the large diecast internal gear is worn on a normally used dish. The lure of diseqc 1.2 is always there. I have modded all three sizes of Fibo, but IMO, as Likvid says, the 120cm is a bit too much for the 2100 type of diseqc motor. With a different design of mount where the axis of rotation was on the C of G it would perhaps be OK since there would be no offset loading, and the wind loading would be much reduced. Another possibility, which I haven't tried myself, would be to remove the Fibo motor, and use a Diseqc jack (linear actuator) on the Fibo mount.:D [/QUOTE]
