(we all cant have Fibo Gregorian dishs)

Exactly. If you throw enough engineering, logic and science at one, I'm sure you could make it work.

But with £40 postage it's more than a brand new one delivered with a guarantee from Maplin

BGonaSTICK · 21-10-07, 11:45 PM

Ah yes, you're right. I thought they were more than that. I'm talking ***** then

You link didn't appear to work, but this one does.

can a dish like this be motorised ?

AceB · 22-10-07, 12:21 PM

An interesting question Arden, according to the Maplin FAQ page it can't. I presume this is due to the mount assembly so assuming you are a bit handy with metal and don't mind experimenting I don't see why this dish can't be motorised, I've tried asking Maplin this but so far have had no reply.
