joedarock Report post Posted August 26, 2020 I have a 2005 motorhome with a Winegard SK 1000 Travler satellite dish which is probably just as old. The AZ assembly is getting stuck and Winegard says they don't support this vintage of the SK1000 with parts anymore. I can get a really cheap price on an SKA-733 which is a Shaw branded version that appears virtually identical mechanically. I'm thinking of taking the motor and gears out of the 733 to repair my 1000, but Winegard wants no part of saying whether this will work. Given that the units look identical, does anyone want to venture an opinion of the probability the mechanical parts are interchangeable?See it here:https://tinyurl.com/y35dqmbxThanksJoe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted August 26, 2020 I would think that if you changed the LNBs then the units mechanical should work. However its your decision. Did Winegard offer make you any offer off a new or rebuild dish? Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txtiger Report post Posted August 28, 2020 If the Shaw is in working order I would just use it and get rid of the Winegard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
campcop Report post Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Considering that it’s made by the same company, I would suspect the gearing is the same. Just make sure you are getting the complete system, I see that you can buy the arm and reflector for about $300 but it does not come with the motor etc. Edited August 28, 2020 by campcop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
