[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1056933, member: 178786"] You can use either a 36 volt motor or a DiSEqC motor. Personally for a 1.2m dish I would use a 36 volt motor. If you go for the 36 volt motor then a linear actuator with a polar mount for the dish is an option. The other option is an H-H motor with an adapter plate to secure the dish to. A popular combination is the now out of production Jaeger 1224 motor with a 1.2m channel master dish. The Jaeger 1224 motor was shipped with an adapter plate that the channel master dish bolted on to directly. This type of setup can still be found for sale second hand on eBay. There was also a polar mount available off the shelf for a channel master 1.2m dish, you would use this with a linear actuator. I think there may be an off the shelf polar mount available for a Gibertini 1.2m dish, again it would be used with a linear actuator. On the subject of linear actuators, the market is awash with cheap Chinese clones. They do the job for a time but tend not to last many years. A genuine Superjack actuator if you can find one is probably your best option or an older second hand actuator that is still working could be OK. [/QUOTE]
