[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 773218, member: 243342"] Right...... been out this morning before work (dedication/obsession), attached the VBox to the motor and it seems like there's still a slight play in the polar mount bearing. I guess my self amalgamating tape Heath Robinson fix didn't quite work. The play is slight but I can see that, although the actuator starts moving straight away, the dish sort of moves within the hinge without rotating for a split second, which is what (I guess) causes the misalignment. I only had about 30 mins to play with it but that's what I think is happening. Ordered a more fitting steel tube to fit more snuggly within the polar mount hole without using rubber tape to pad it out! Hopefully, this will fix it once and for all. (The amount of money I spent on various bits to put the polar mount right could have been spent on that Jaeger 1224 motor from last week!)... Live and learn.... [/QUOTE]
