[QUOTE="teltras, post: 1114210, member: 416805"] The motor is now assembled again. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the motor, but I can take one tomorrow. Yes, I did use a a 24 volt power supply, The motor drive it´s very easy to separate from the arm, (just one bolt) the dish is about 31 years old but I did restore it to new condition, because its a Channel Master... this motor has 30 years old. That´s what ive done. that giant spiral screw had a lot of rust and corrosion but i did clean it very well, the only problem is the shaft has a little bit of play, about 2 or 3mm when I push it or pull it. The culprit seems to be that thing like a nut where the spiral works. It´s made of a softer material than the big spiral screw. After lubricating everything it works...but it´s noisy, grinding noise...from the arm. I didn´t change the bottom bearing because I dont have anything to clamp and secure the giant screw, to remove the lock nut at the shaft end. the bearing is damaged with a lot of rust, it can rotate now, and I did fill it with bearing grease. The motor alone, drive and gears, is very quiet. [/QUOTE]
