Thanks to Direct-TV increasing their rates again, I'm going back to my C-Band dish.<br />I can get the same channels for HALF the cost.<br /><br />I don't watch enough TV to warrant the $40 a month that DirecTV wants.<br /><br />Anyhow...<br />I have an old Radio Shack 9.5' dish that has a worm-gear/screw type of dish mover. It still works fairly well, but one of the gears (a half-moon type... dunno it's name) is beginning to show wear, and Lord knows if there is any new ones available. I've asked Radio Shack, but they haven't returned my mail.<br /><br />I would like to convert the dish to utilize today's standard piston type actuators, but I don't want to shell out the bucks for a new one until I know I can make it work.<br /><br />Does anyone have an old actuator they don't want?<br />The standard is 18" for a dish up to 10", so I can start there.<br /><br />If one of you has an old non-working one laying around, or even a reasonably priced working one (new ones are $40 on EBay) LET'S TALK!<br /><br />homerr999@msn.com<br /><br />OOPS: Sorry admins... If this qualifies as a 'Non-boating technical question"... I keep forgetting about that forum. 
<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.
