It would be cheeper to get a reed an it would help to get 1 for what ever model of
actuator that you have, or i have adapted different styles reeds an magnet wheels tru the years, but if your actuator is in bad shape with a lot of play in it then replace it. an if you have a mess dish a lite duty will be fine but if you got a heavy fiber glass will need a good quality actuator to hold up.what model an size dish an actuator do you have?
Or make 5volts dc either with some batterys or a power supply if you got 1 laying around an test that optic sensor out to see if it works. an this is how B+ to +5volts, Ground to - side of 5volt supply an also to ground on v-3000, an sensor to sensor on v-3000. also if you got a multi meter sud have less than 15ohms from ground an sensor when actuator is moving, an if you got low ohms run it, but if the ohms are over 20 (at the optic sensor, not inside home cause will be reading wire also) the actuator wont count to the v-3000 well, going from sat to sat over time... good luck
