DG380B Wanted

[ESA1178]

Since Sadoun has no ETA on the DG380B, I'm hoping that someone out there might have an unopened motor.
Perhaps, realizing that they ordered the wrong one etc.
In either case, please pm me if you have one for sale...

Thanks!

go with an SG9120 or SG9120B (depending on your dish)....much better IMO

I would if I could, but HyperMegaSat is out of both...
Since I am also awaiting the release of the Micro HD, I will hold out until Sadoun has the DG380B in stock...

Talked with Sadoun today and they have the 42mm tubes on order for converting the DG380 to the b model.

hypermegasat is not the only dealer out there

Thanks for the info Brian.
Sadoun quit replying to my emails regarding a 42 mm tube for my DG380 mover after they moved to TX.

Did they let you know when they would be in? They told me they had no ETA on the DG380B.

I understand that the DG380b is not on order, but the "b" tube will be stocked. Sorry, didn't ask about a delivery date.

Just got a replacement 42mm tube for my DG380 from Sadoun in the mail yesterday!
Price went up ($25), but it fits.

I love my DG-380. Haven't had to do any resets yet (knock on wood) as I did with the 9120B.

You didn't tell us about your dish.
Unless it' a tank , I'd go with the Stab HH90.
(and if it IS a tank, I wouldn't go with the B ).
When we discussed motors recently, someone found it for around $69, or so.
I think Stab invented that technology.

That's a good point. The type of dish is important, and I thought of something else. Everyone says the max. limit on those "B" motors is a 1 meter dish, but if your mount type allows for it, and you plan on abusing your dish with projects such as the mini-BUD (like I did!) with the extra weight from the scalar and C-band LNBF, then that makes the larger tube a better choice. I had to get longer bolts from the hardware store to make it work with my 90 cm dish, but I'm pleased with the results. That could have been the real reason my 9120b stressed out on me
