After a long time of my Chaparral Bullseye being just stored in a box I`ve decided to make it work again.
It`s never been used even I bought it as "used" as the main part for Ku band (servo motor) is missing and at that time I couldn't`t find any proper replacement.
As you can see, the servo motor used on every Chaparral co-rotor can`t be used due to round shape of the orange plastic where both parts come together.
So I want to ask you, guys do you have any idea where can I purchase a spare servo motor (or that black plastic disc) that will fit my Chaparral Bullseye? Everything that is available on ebay or US e-shops is for co-rotors.
I`ve been also thinking of replacing a single Ku band port with the genuine Ku band OMT or perhaps machining a "tube" that will accommodate a C120 flange LNB if a servo is no more available.

Another problem that I have is a throat cap replacement. I`ve got a few extra caps for my co-rotors, but it`s the same story again. Diameter of the Bullseye is different to co-rotor`s, so I can`t use it again.
Any advice or solution where to obtain those spare parts is welcome.
I`m located in Europe, so spares or even Chaparral feeds are very rare to see here. That`s why I`m trying my luck here as there are more options to get those parts in the US (local shops, scrap yard, boot sales etc.).... I`d not mind if those parts were used, but in working order...
