Heavy Duty C-Band Satellite Actuator

[stinkygopher1]

I am looking for a new satellite actuator for my 10' dish and I was wondering if this actuator would be worth purchasing? It's a Moteck SuperPowerJack 24" QARL-3624+ Heavy Duty C-Band Satellite Actuator. Thanks!

I bought one and it lasted about a year before the acme nut was wore out and useless. YMMV

Yeah. Pretty much like the cheapest Mercedes if you have to have a Mercedes.
Instead save your pennies and buy a man's actuator. I bought a new 36" QARL off of a guy on craigs and it's been nothing but a letdown.

This thread made me chuckle. It's easy to criticize. So...then what do you suggest to somebody who needs a new actuator?

Venture MFG Inc. There are several models on Rick's website that are cheaper than buying direct from Venture.
