(I'll post this here and over at the other site... )
How much weight will this motor handle?
My H180 is in the trash bin because it broke in half, could not hold up a 6 foot dish.
This thing looks very similar, I'd hate to spend the money and find my dish on the ground again.
Any prices mentioned?

My intended use would be for replacing actuators on existing C-Band dishes. It would be nice to get the whole ARC from ocean to ocean.... instead of 60-70% of it.

| | | no specs, but more info
I'd previously posted my comments and concerns in this thread.
Not exactly a review, but here's some old info on the motor from one of our members, Likvid.
He's not using a very large dish, but his comments are certainly educational.

I too am not sure of weight capacity...
Mine is going to be for a 1.8 Meter Andrews Channel master. I am guessing weight of that dish to be around 75 pounds.
These prices are from European Suppliers.
Cost of standard model is around $180.
EL model is $225.
It is only $40-50 more than STAB 120.

I have a SMR-1224 on a Fortecstar 2.4m dish and it handles it no problems. However, i would not trust it on a heavier fiberglass dish. Please note that the motor is rated at 36V so you need a Vbox to drive it.

I was about to order one of these from an overseas vendor.
I might prefer to wait, if this happens sooner than later. So I'll ask a potentially difficult question- What is the expected time frame for this?
Additionally, an adaptor plate exists for mounting ChannelMaster dishes. Any chance there is interest in adding this piece to the effort?
Pending a favorable answer to the time question, I will buy at least one 1224-EL.

I am pretty sure anyone that can install/mount a satellite dish has enough skills and tools to fabricate a flat mounting bracket or is there something I am missing?
The only reason I say this is extra brackets is extra cost and weight.
I made bracket for my 1.2 meter CM to mount onto SG2100 and it is working ok.
