    Alsat Dark Motor died

    My so called Supreme Intelligent Alsat Dark Motor has died. Only had it just over a year and the darn thing decided to die

    Anybody recommend any decent motors to buy. I really don't fancy buying a Alsat Dark Motor again.

    I was thinking of buying a Technomate TM-2600 instead.

    Any suggestions?

    good choice mate.

    cannot go wrong with a tm2600, use one myself and installed loads of customers dishes with a tm2600.

    Also used the darkmotor but for me a tm2600 is a strong reliable motor and has all metal gearing aswell
