Got a magnetic protractor from HD (Home Depot) for $9.00, saved me some headace. If you want a good sturdy motor for FTA Get a Pansat PM900S They have all staneless steel gears, shafts and, bearrings. Problem is that it is about $120.00 From Pansat Direct, check many other places online as well and big side is that it has a 2 year warranty and it is made in Europe in Solovina. It is also setup for USALS.
