and made a picture of internal guts.

Symptom is no signal coming out from both LNBFs, I'll check it to see if I can fixed it.

I'm looking for fix the DPP Twin LNBF; I connected it to lab PS, it show 0.34A load with 19VDC input.

Could someone test good one for the current ?

Next question would be tough one - I measured VR 7808 in a middle - looks good and provide +7.8V output; but at left side same type 7808 doesn't have any voltage on IN and OUT legs. Is it special one and does regulation by switching signal ?
Or I found fault part ? Actually, I think not - it could be input voltage disappeared by other reason.
Any help with schematics of the DPP LNBF would be appreciated.

"Duck" is a brand name of duct tape.

Unlike...
Teletype is a brand of teletypewriter.
Xerox is a brand of coping machines.

According to my military mind, generically the tape is properly called either "duck tape" or "duct tape" and yes there is a brand of duck tape and/or duct tape called "Duck".

Maybe outside on an LNBF it should be called "duck tape",
while inside on your ventilation system it should be called "duct tape".

Yes there is more better stuff available now-a-days for HVAC!

EDIT:
Do you remember when...
After they ran that electrical line to your homestead and your family upgraded the "ice box" to an "electric ice box", now commonly called a refrigerator-freezer?
