Thanks Anole, an that is the H to H mount that is running the 1.8m Channel Master dish right now. I am going to bring that tread back an post some more pictures of the re-mod that I had to do to get the 1.8m to fit on it. but I have been very happy with the 1.2m that was on it, an it has ran flawless for well over a year, but now the 1.8m is really the real hot ticket for Ku, an it really shows when I start looking to the east on the AlanticBirds an Telstar-12.
now as far as a motor controller al last, I use the G-Box V-3000 by the powertech, that Sadoun sells (a site sponsor here), an it is a very good product. an I had my doughts at 1st about the G-Box handling the high count gear step up on the read switch, but it does just fine, an have even built another mount that has a higher count well over 7000 counts an the G-boxs works great with it too. I have used these G-Boxs from day 1 when they 1st came out, before then I used a MotecII, an just like the G-box so much better for their double counts. Sadoun also has actuators too.
now I don't use actuators here, on all of my dishes I use all H to H mounts, but to put a actuator on that 1.8m I would use a heavy duty actuator due to the weight you are pushing. on another forum their is a member that also has a 1.8m motorized too an he uses a Jager H to H mount, now they come from some where in Europe, don't know where or how to get 1, but if you would search some of the Euro forums I think you will find 1, but they will be very costly with the shipping from over the pond.
