I am trying to come up with a parts kit minus the motors. It wont have all the small screws etc but the maybe the sq tube, milled shaft, and flat bearing. I think the rest of the materials can be found locally.

@kuroshinin1 thanks for the interest. So far I have not been able to go past the original unit. So far Its DIY project (do it yourself) it very time consuming to drill all the holes and cut up the aluminum plates. I am still investigating a more pan tilt type with a feedback potentiometer.

I saw your other videos on the rotors and was just wondering if you could draw out a template of the aluminum pieces so that I could cut the demensions as you have them? 

Good job. If I can find a programmer, I will let you know. Maybe we could contact some of the interface makers for some of the sat tracking programs to look at your setup and see if they could write code or make the interfaces work with your rotors.
