designed to last *and* to be repairable if faulty. The ones I have were designed round record player motors so I wondered if they still made them. CD players ain't powerful enough. ;-)

Yes - ISTR Autodrape used this system as their cord drive would get very upset with slack and jam.
Powercord - being British - is far better engineered, and is more tolerant. The one in this room is yonks old and used several times a day when the sun causes problems with seeing the monitor, as well as being auto operated in the morning and evening. The curtain track is something like 4 metres wide. And the cord has never been adjusted. I'd always start with a free running corded track.
What I'd really want to find is a free running track that could start on the wall and run round a bay window. They don't exist. ;-)

The spring loading and torque can put some pressure on the wall mounted motor unit.
The motor unit needs to be screwed to the wall properly.
My friends who had the remote curtains found that the unit came off the wall after a few years.

It's an alternative to the hole in the middle of the roof for letting the smoke out. A new-fangled idea, but catching on quite quickly in London. I daresay it'll make its way Oop North in the next few decades.
Why not save waiting, and ask Spouse for a chimney of your own this Christmas.

More likely to pull the track off its mounts. ;-) These separate motor types need to be well fixed as they can produce serious amounts of torque on maximum.
