Satcatcher satellite motor

[viper8]

hi people .i seem to have a little bit of play with my satcatcher motor .when i was adjusting the dish the other day i noticed that the arm of the motor moves slightly ( could this be a worn motor ) the system keeps dropping of signal quality aswell .making the picture freeze .could this be the problem ??
if yes what motor would be recommended

Some motors have a little play. Motek is good also TM motors super versions. Cheap on ebay.

could this be why i am loosing signal .because of the play .which i have not noticed before

[viper8]

the new superior darkmotor has metal gears and is a decent motor, ?50 delivered on ebay.

Id say get the Technomate metal gear motor. TM motors are very very very accurate and high quality.
