This a very heavy duty DC reduction drive motor unit. Sold as surplus from Allelectronics in Los Angeles. Originally it was for boat satellite. I rewired the 12vdc motors. It also has limit switchs. Elevation mtor gear speed is different then the azimuth motor drive. Its about the size of a small bowling ball and weather resistant. I had no problems moving a 18" dish.
Do you think I can find somewhere of this type in ALLELECTRONIC there?

@KI6JLD I bought this about 8 years ago and finally got around to modifying it recently. Sorry sold the last extra one I had and shipped it to a ham in the UK. If you ever see one like at TRW swap meet or on the internet grab it.

Galaxis space scanner, the original manufactures website is gone. Some blurbs on the Amsat mail list as many people saw it when it hit the surplus market. its a DSS satellite dish tracking unit. (dish network) The OEM website picture had it on a like a 32' boat.
