No, I do not. I did look into buying one but it didn't seem to offer anything that I needed.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I saw one in Greece when with 3virgul14. It wasn't large at all and struggled with moving his 3.7m prime focus dish.

Hi J-P,
If someone isn't faster, I'll break the box and take a look over the weekend.

When you realise what could have been world class is compromised by just one component.

Yep, when mine was working correctly it was great to use.
I fitted the extra caps across motor feed cables & sensor cable connections, even fitted the suggested add-on isolation board etc to cure the counting issue which seemed to do the job.
My unit is on the second main pcb, the one that's in it now i suspect has failed again. Before it failed i was getting frequent crashing of the software and having to re-load the saved satellite database, sometimes having to re-flash the firmware. This problem seemed to be set off by any small surge or spikes either on the 240v supply or perhaps the surge on the 36v motor out cables when tugging the 2.2 mtr back from extreme arc positions putting a moderate load on the unit.
Did some web surfing last night re: the crashing problem and the users in the US were reporting the same problems but not getting far with any solutions.
I was thinking, due to the quality of the casing / front control panel / rear control panel, whether to try an retro fit one of the forum members positioner design pcb's into it ? dunno.

the magnetic circuit measures 14cm2 this corresponds to approximately 200VA
some say that this transformer is insufficient and replace it with a Chinese module yet 200VA is already a high power
