Von Weise actuator

[Likvid]

I tried to find some info about the VW-18 model from Von Weise.

Is that a hall-effect or reed sensor in that model and do you know if it's an older model than the V-76?

Is it a big difference between VW-18 and V-76?

Livid , I suspect the VW-18 is a 18 inch actuator ( probably not sold now but was marketed recently) here is info on the others that i found.

the v76-5 is sold on ebay by the von wiese folks or at their website ( the others are sold at their website)

I found out that the VW-18 is a cheaper model than V76.

Retailed for $119 so i skipped buying it from Ebay as shipping cost is also crazy high to Europe.

i think there's one on ebay for 50 but there's not a lot of info out there on it

Yes i know but i have actually sourced a quality actuator here in Europe yesterday which is rare.

In Europe they only sell the cheap SuperPowerJacks by Moteck.
