[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 11596, member: 175144"] From a previous life I was led to believe Philips actuators were Optical coupler type position control so only the wear and tear scenario fits the bill. Philips (actually the Gregorian from Fibo) used a nylon cog which wears out quickly if the dish is able to hit a stationary object or rund over to the fixed mechanical limit about 60 degrees either side of centre. Some companies made a brass copy of the cog and sold it on at wallet depleting amounts. A local lathe operator may be able to make something up thats able to do the job [/QUOTE]
