OTHER SG-2100 Motor Bracket Wanted

[cyberham]

I know this is a real shot in the dark....but I'm looking for anybody who may have an old SG-2100 motor with mounting bracket/bolts that aren't too rusted out like mine. My actual motor still works fine after 12+ years, but the bracket scales and bolts are rusted almost to the extent that they can't be used. Below is what I need.

What mine looks like...

Does anybody have these?

In the absence of new old stock parts, I would treat, prime, and paint the brackets and replace the square U bolts with straight bolts. For the pivot and scale bolts, I would just thread-match and add some flat and lock washers as required to compensate for missing material. Run to outright failure.

Alternatively, if you believe that motors will become more expensive and challenging to source due to a limited North American market, consider buying a new device and paint the surfaces before performing (preferably) a one-and-done installation.

Everyone else's mileage may vary.

I agree that improving the motor I have is better than buying a whole new motor. Though I see a new SG-2100 is available from New York City for about CDN$225 delivered.

If I can clean off the rust from the existing bracket so I can read the scales, then replace the four bolts with identical new ones, this would help a lot. One bolt has rounded edges due to use. Finding new bolts with identical threads might be tough near where I live. The square U-brackets are fine as they are if I just get new nuts and lock/flat washers for them.

I will consider all of this next time I take the motor out of the system. It's working fine for all receivable satellites now so I won't touch.
