I am trying to get a dish motor

[Johnson114]

Hello my peps. I'm back again. I am trying to get a dish motor SG6000 on eBay. What do you think about the motor.

The SG6000 I am pretty sure has been discontinued and the SG9120/SG9120B have replaced it. The SG6000 has a "plastic" gear and the SG9120 has a metal gear that is more durable. There is a Ebay seller or 2 that claims the "plastic" is better and it cushions the dish... well most are staying away from those plastics. The SG9120 has a 50mm shaft and the SG9120B has the 42mm shaft so figure which size you need. Just do not overtighten the coax onto the motor! The SG9120B is on Ebay for under $60 and free shipping and the SG9120 is $99 shipped. The other thing to consider is dish size. Some are having problems with the 9120s moving larger dishes like a 1.2M. For the larger dishes Radar recommends a DG-380B from Sadoun which is $99 plus shipping. The DG-380B has a 42mm shaft and a 50mm is available on the DG-380 or you can purchase an additional shaft for like $12. I am considering getting a DG-380 for my 1.2M very soon!

There is not much price difference between the SG6000 and the SG120B so I would go with the SG9120B out of the two. If your dish is heavy/bigger consider a DG-380/DG-380B over a SG9120/SG9120B.

I found the motor SG9120B. I almost bought the SG6000 I decided to post the question so that I won't make any mistake buying an equipment with low quality.
