**That was back in '03, so where they are now (owned by) is any ones guess.

That actuator is mentioned in the August 15, 1984 issue of Coop's Satellite Digest (page 6, cont'd page 26 - took a while to load).

It sounds like you have your bases covered...

I'm thinking that, if you're so inclined, get one C-band going and then find or fabricate the rest for the other dish. I'm kicking myself now for having delayed/waited...
