Are the angles measured on your dish as shown in this picture?

Yeah, all dishes, or just about all on a polar mount with an actuator tend to 'fall over' to the side opposite the actuator. One has to determine which side is the best for your situation. If the dish makes it as far west that's desired without 'falling over' you just have to set the limit switch in the actuator so it wont extend to the point of 'falling over'. If it doesn't get as far west as desired with the actuator on the east side, one can only move the actuator to the other side, and take what you get(without falling over) on the east side. (And/ or vice-versa)

Has anyone used a 4-bar link (technically a 6-bar link) to get 180 degree motion from the polar mount? Think of the bucket on a loader or excavator or boom sections on concrete pumps. The pinned joints would need to be precisely bored to prevent slop and excess movement. This would prevent the dish from going over-center too.

I've never seen or heard of anything like that being offered. BUT have brainstormed it in the past. (To get the BUD down to the H on the east side) Biggest hindrance is, as you say, keeping the slop out of it and the necessity for multiple actuators. Not very practical in my view. K.I.S.S. principle favors less chance of troubles down the road. For HtoH, the worm and sector arraignment as used by BV, is elegant in it's simplicity and probably the most dependable.
