Today I tested the acuator and it is working like new now. The contact block was a little rusted up so I dug around and found 4 more HTS acuators and 2 were the same as this one so I took a block out of it and rewired this one and she is ready for a new life. I took out a couple of receivers, one analog and another digital and a small tv to help me tune it in. After a couple of adjustments it is now tracking the arc. Signals are pretty good but I can't get some of the S2 that I had desired so I am thinking I am going to put the 10' over here since this side of the arc will be a majority of our viewing. This dish will work just fine for the western side of the arc. I threw a switch out there for tonight and tapped into my exisiting coax for the 1.2 and am enjoying the Fisher mux on G3. Something new to watch. That's about it for today.
Nothing like a little shade tree mechanic-ing. I am pretty carefull about how I take apart things. All the small parts where neatly organised on my boat nearby.
