Which is a hassle.

The bsc621 is well regarded in this forum.

I have recently replaced the positioner system on my BUD with a vbox and I am on the verge of replacing the feed with the BSC621.

Thanks Larry,
I don't know if mine has a servo. It had a Ribbon cable (with three leads) going through the feed, however only one lead was connected. I will double check it to see if the other two cables were missing connections.

In the case that just one cable is needed, then I would not worry about the polarity, isn't right?
