Thanks. I done a search and came across clear coat rust protection spray. I see some for sale locally, so might get it tomorrow and test it out on some metal and leave it out for a few days. I like the idea of a clear coat.

Yes very true, I don't want to buy the superjack without knowing how it performs. I think I'll go with the technomate. I had an older model years back and it had a lot of rust turn up. I'd like to rust proof it, but Notting that makes it go black etc, surely there is a clear coat of something...

I can't seem to find any technomate 2600 motors for sale, the only motor I can find is the superjack 3200 with metal gears. I can't find any info on the superjack to see its performance.

I've decided to go with a 1m gibertini, but undecided on a diseqc motor. The stab motors seem to be popular, but I've tried 2 over the years and I wasn't impressed with the backlash it has straight out of the box. It's a really good build and never rusts, but the backlash really let's it down...

Nice job. I have a 60mm pole in my garden, but trees out over my wall in a green area have shot up over the last couple of years, so will effect western satellites. I think I'll go with the 1m gibertini on the side of the house. As you say the 1.25 wouldn't be easy up a ladder.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Do you know what the minimum diameter pole that can be used with the larger gibertini polar mount. I can't find an answer anywhere.

Even the polar mount.

Thanks, I never thought of that.

I've seen pictures with the dish on the polar mount and it does seem out far, add 12 inch T&k brackets and it's out even further from the wall.

Any T&k brackets I've seen only take a 50mm diameter pole.

I've been thinking about buying a gibertini 1.25 dish and matching polar mount. Just some questions. I've a 60mm pole that's about 1.5m high in the ground in my back garden, that has just a fixed dish on it. I was going to put it on it, but since the last motor was on it tree's have shot up...

I had a go at putting a 1m channel master dish on a stab motor, just to test for myself, as I like to try things out. I used 2 threaded bars parallel to the shaft, because the azel mount on the cm took around 60mm. In the end the wind moved the dish round the shaft a slight bit and lots of...

I have them up as fixed dishes now, I'm always changing and messing about.

Hey. Im looking to upgrade to a new motorised dish setup. I've used some different dishes and motors in the past, I never leave them up long to see their overall performance, always chopping and changing, but I'd like to install something that's lasts this time. I was looking at the new...
