My VonWeiss works fine but has more play in it than I'd like. I don't know if this is normal or not and I don't know if there is anything I can do about it.

I've had some issues with mine, but I found part of my problem was the bolts holding it to the mount weren't snugged down tight enough. I realized I had a problem when we had some high winds recently. When a 50mph gust hit the dish, it was doing a nice little shimmy. I went out and really cinched them down tight, and it doesn't move hardly at all in the wind now. I also loosened the bolts my mount rotates on and lubricated them with motor oil. This seemed to help a lot as the mount turned more smoothly, and the arm had a better grip on things.

I've done two of these and one has been in service now for about 6 months with zero problems. The other is destined for that 12 ft Conifer that will be here this spring.

Also got some pics and stuff on my site here:

I've also converted two of these V76 movers to 60 counts per inch using a custom made 10 magnet wheel.

Billion there is a Post on Satellite Guys here by Gabshere with about 20 great step by step pictures on doing a complete overhaul on a Von Weise Actuator. I used it to overhaul mine and it has worked well for going on 4 years. Main fix is to take it apart, sand it down where there is rust, and refill it with grease - I used white Lithium grease with great success. But with all the rain we had this summer and now the snow mine is starting to show some outside rust again.
