I have BUD system that works perfectly except that I can't adjust the skew (except manually at the dish).
My system: 10ft fiberglass dish, Chaparral Corotor II feedhorn with C and Ku LNBs, 4DTV to move dish and adjust skew, Amiko Mini SE tuner.
I recently received a new servo motor from Titanium Satellite, wired it up and confirmed that the 4DTV can get it to turn. When I screwed the motor into place, however, It moved the skew a bit but then wouldn't move it either way. This is the same problem that I had before. When I then pulled the motor off, the slotted piece of plastic that the skew motor connects to came off with it, so that piece is obviously not connected to the metal device that determines the skew.
The dish and Corotor are about 35 years old.
Most of the time, I watch NBC on SES 3 (W1) in order to see the news or other shows early so I manually re-set set the skew at the dish for that. I would, however, like to restore my ability to tune all channels.
Here is a picture of the piece that came off.
Any suggestions?
