This gadget was on the roof of the motorhome. The dish had been removed long ago, there is no control box, and it wasn't connected to anything so I removed it. It has two Bosch 18v motors and two absolutely lovely worms in it. I have to find a use for it, so any suggestions?  John Edit. I just looked them up and they are wiper motors: £150 each!  |

If you have a mill, power feeds for the table.

That 's a great idea! With the right control box it could be a automatic Equatorial mount! John |

I was thinking along similar lines because I’d recently seen something on Youtube that “tracked” the International Space Station (not sure why!). Cheers Don |

It looks just the sort of thing we're looking for to automate our crossing barrier at the track. Ian

Just flog them on eBay and put the money to something useful. Travelling workshop, maybe?

Motorised Lifting table saves all that foot pumping.
Just replace it with screws or build one!
I have 2 Disabled Buggy gearboxes that one is destined to go on a bandsaw for metal.
