Well ...everything was going so well ...and then the problems start..
I've had approx 18 months service from my 24 inch actuator motor ..but then it does get some considerable use ..moved roughly every night accross the arc..
Well its developed a squeak and some play in its travel ..needing correction periodically..
Never really been happy with this one ..as the stock of the arm seems thinner than they were in the old days..
So rather than wait till it gives up completely I'm considering replacing it ...err...sooner rather than later.
This is getting to be a habit.
So ..I only have 24 inches of travel fully extended at this ...which probably accounts for the errors creeping in.
I'm considering a 36 inch motor and ...but I'd first have to check clearance to the wall behind it as I need to get to 58 west fully closed ...and 62 East fully open..
Ideally a 36 inch motor would leave some of the arm inside the sleeve ..but this might not be possible ..
This being the case ..its yet another 24 incher
Now ...what I really want is something more reliable and sustantial instead of these rather 'thin' affairs which appear to flood the markets these days ..
My last one was from S-satellite ...and I wanted a Jaeger ..but had to settle for this superjack ..if indeed that was what it was..
So minimum 24 inch ...substantial ..long lasting and reliable with a good accurate pulse count and NO play ....
..finally at a price that wont break the bank including postage.
Recommendations are what I'm after..
Can anyone recommend one from personal experience ...preferably available in the UK ..as shipping from the states etc ..would be a killer.
I noticed a new kid in town ...HARL ...
these any good ???
