Hi all, long time no post here.

I'm slightly surprised not to be able to find discussion - here or
elsewhere - of Banco motorised valves as Honeywell replacements. Since
they're about quarter of the price I assumed they'd be either hailed as
the bee's knees or would throw up warnings from people who'd tried them.

So, anyone any experience of them ? Has my Google-fu let me down ?
I only need the synchronous motor in fact and Banco do sell these for
direct replacement, available for a mere 16 squid. Don't need it to last
another 20 years as the system will be well up for replacement before
then, this is really just a stop gap. But equally I don't want to install
a crock that will fail before I get the place fixed up and sold :-)

Thanks for any comments or alternatives,

Nick
