RE: (ET) rear lift



I have a 24" Von-Weiss actuator.  Yep, 36V.  Slow as molasses.  About 60 
sec. full stroke.  
but it would work if you were clever.  You should be able to find these 
FREE if you remove 
the old dish for someone.  It must be able to push nearly 1000 lbs.

C-Band Satellite systems use 18" 24 to 36 volt actuators...maybe they might
work and I believe they are under $150??.
