If the fix does not do the job,I have a brand new Von Weise motor,7 1/2' Dish Package, that was bought in the early eighties and never put into service.
It was sold by Radio Shack.

I ran a automatic copy wood lathe for twenty years and I also needed a bronze bushing reduced for a project.
I turned a wood blank into a dowel that I fitted tight into the bushing ,found the centers on each end and used a fine large file to reduce it to the correct diameter with two...
Takoulis,
Sorry,But I only looked at the rusty metal. That really got my attention because I use electrolysis [water and a battery charger] and have dipped the Dish parts into a 2' x 2' x 4' deep square [ plastic only ] tank,for a day or two, with a commercial battery charger with 65 amps...
Takoulis:
If you are not able get your rust bucket back into operation,I know where there is a complete new/ Old Stock, H to H ,complete Dish,Motor,cables assembly that has been in storage since 1983, that is for sale.
No rust remover needed.
I have decided to sell the Whole Radio Shack/Von Weise Satellite system minus the Analog receiver on Ebay because It was over whelming for me and I could not find anyone local to set it up for me.I did find one person who I could pay to find the Clark ark when using the standard type motor.

Pictures of new 1988 Radio Shack 8 1/2' Dish driven by a Von Weise motor
:) See attached pictures of the New Von Weise Motor and the dish with Cast Aluminum center [not steel]. Is the GBOX a better user friendly choice over the another brand for my application to move this dish using the...
I will take some pictures of the motor and of the Dish in pieces as I will not get the dish assembled until I finish another project first. Honey do lists get priority.
I have never added pictures here before, but do all the time on Ebay.
Do I add them thru the -Insert Image Icon?
Thanks Al
Hi mapleleaf69
I think you are doing what I am trying to learn how to do.
I posted my question today on- How to use a Von Weise [analog wired] motor and a digital receiver
How do I move a Von Weise open gear Motor on a 8 ½’ Radio Shack Dish to use with my digital GeoSat 1100 box ?
I saw that Linuxman had this type of motor.
I just bought a brand new 1988 Radio Shack 8 ½” Aluminum Dish complete outfit # 16-2502, with a date of 3/10/88 stenciled on the boxes...
no insurance
Sorry, I have not been available to respond.
I really like the sign truck rental idea.
I have found two more Buds.
One is a Alum 10’ in a yard with lawn mower damage and and a 8’ Alum in a yard for free.
I like Free.
For a pole mount, I retrieved a 5’ off of a gas station...
I have made a offer to a commercial business to buy a unused 12' Alum Dish.
I would like to know what I am getting into.
They want me to have insurance in case the used smaller dish on the same pole gets damaged.
How much do one of these weigh?
Can two men lift it off with out equipment?
Can it...
When installing my first dish on the ground, the pole was plumbed perfect. When I hung the motor on, it wanted to drift off of plumb. This is how I pulled it and kept it into plumb, which was also my problem of hitting the arc.
I put a muffler clamp with double nuts on the pole as high as...
