Back in June John sent a message to the list about replacing the front lift
with a linear actuator.  Just checking in to see if it ever came to be..
Any news?  Pictures?

Original email:

All this talk about the front lift makes me wonder why we want to keep 
them.
I have nothing but problems with mine and it is slow. I have purchased a 36
volt 18" linear actuator (used for a satelite dish) for $50.00. I will let
you know how it installs and works as I get on with it.

I keep mine because it has worked for 30 years.    It may be slow but it is
steady.
