A Dark Motor Superior that I bought on 1st March 2012, it's been outside for about two weeks but wasn't used after the initial line up because I decided to get a 36V motor instead. As you can see from the photos just a few light marks on it and some grazing on the paint on the bracket from when I was setting it up. Either £35 inc postage by RM in the UK or will consider swapping for a 6"ish or 36" actuator or a postioner, condition not too important but must work OK.

Aceb, I know this is off topic but...

36" is too big. I've got a 24" on my Gibbi mount and am only using about 19" inches. I've ground my mount down a lot to maximise movement at either end of the arc but it is still only possible to go about 58º of arc in either direction before the mount runs into itself.

P.S. at my latitude 58º of arc = about 65º of rotation of the polar mount.

The 36" is for the 1.8 Precision, it'll just about do it on a 24" but it would be good to have some thread left at 63W :) The 6" is to experiment with elevation control on the Gib.

If only you would have decided to sell a few days earlier mate. I ordered a New Horizons DISEqC motor from the forum sponsor a few days ago to replace my old TM2200 motor which failed at the start of the month.

I would have ripped your hand off for that motor a few days ago.

Oh well at least somebody else will have the good fortune to have a really good motor at a good rock bottom price :D

Hi Tebaa, it's still available. Can one of the mods switch on Teebas PMs please so we can swap details for payment and delivery. Tebaa, I'm actually just off to bed as I'm out to work from 5 in the morning till 2am Sunday, I might be able to PM you tomorrow from the phone but more than likely I'll be in touch on Sunday.
