How much did the owner want for the dishes? Since you're removing them yourself, you shouldn't have to pay much. You're doing him/her a favor.

As FaT Air said, the scalar rings in Ku-Band LNBFs are built in. They are behind the weather-protective cap, and can be seen on the Invacom LNBFs because the protective cap is transparent. There is a diffence in scalar rings (C or Ku) designed for prime focus dishes versus those designed for...

Dee, I think you should paint a giant, whacked-out eyeball on the big dish, complete with red veins, and aim it at a low satellite which happens to be over your neighbor's roof :eek: ...

You can purchase rack-mountable PC cases, which are great for home entertainment centers. There are shelves available to allow rack mounting of non-rackmountable equipment. There are rack wire harnesses for the cables... So many options... There should be something bright orange at Harbor...

I'm a city boy, but whenever I've visited friends or relatives who live in the country, I've been warned to wear bright orange whenever walking around in the woods :D ... That way, I've been told, I should avoid being strapped onto the hood of someone's car or mounted on a wall... :eek: Racks...

Bullet holes? In all of them? I know it wouldn't affect the signal much (unless the dishes look like Swiss cheese), but bullet holes would annoy me in such a beautiful dish. You might want to grab one or two of those open racks in the headend if they're not already spoken for. One can never...

Not that I know from experience, Dee, but if you were a guy and married, I think your dad's reaction would pale in comparison to your wife's :D ...

Very, very nice dish Dee! I can remember a time, not too long ago, when you were hesitant to put up a 6 footer! See what this hobby does to people! ;) ... Looking forward to the pics and stories, maybe you should start a dedicated project thread!

Wow Dee! You could shoot the fifth Indiana Jones movie in that lot! "Indiana Jones and the Quest for the BUD" :D ... I like the BUD with the double-ribbed sections, looks something like a Paraclipse, but different. It will be hard to get the vines out of the mesh without damaging or...

I remember seeing these in the catalogs (when Rat Shack actually had a REAL catalog).

AMC-1 has NBC and NBC feeds, but in the 4:2:2 profile. You need a receiver that supports that profile (AZBox, QualiTV) or a computer-based DVB card with the appropriate codecs installed in the PC. AMC 1 at 103.0°W - LyngSat Scroll down to the Ku transponders (5-digit frequencies)...

I believe the Winegards are similar to the Perfect 10s, and if so, they easily come apart in four panels. As Anole suggested, you may need to use unfreezing compound to get the bolts apart.

I can't seem to find it, but I remember a thread describing a problem with probe alignment on many 621s. There was a solution which involved loosening them and re-aligning them. Maybe the Green One can dig up a link to the thread ;)

Sounds great, looks like SatelliteAV will take care of you :) The sponsors always seem to step up to the plate when there is a problem like this.

Scott, in the second picture where you show the flopped dish, it looks like there might be a bend in the dish. I'm not sure whether it is an optical illusion or not, but I circled the area in question to illustrate...

Couldn't have put it better myself! :cool:

I would suggest a replacement polarotor, but I don't have one for a Corotor II. I will have a spare voltage-switched dual output C-Band LNBF soon though.

The fiberglass dish... :( We gave up on removing a 12' fiberglass dish that was mounted about 10' off the ground last year. It probably weighed 200-300 pounds... A couple of days ago, I drove by that house, and it was out for the trash... It was sawed up in pieces. They even broke the...

Another observation... This Winegard looks nearly identical to my 7.5' Perfect 10. The Perfect 10 comes apart in four "slices". If you can remove each "slice" or "petal" separately, these are not heavy at all. The entire disassembled dish fit nicely into the back of my compact station wagon...

You could always get it and leave it sitting around doing nothing like I've been doing with my C-Band dishes :rolleyes: ... Hopefully an upcoming spring (summer) project will finally spell my graduation into the C-Band club.

Congratulations Anole! Great looking dish. The whole concrete and pole in the ground thing is why I waited so long on my Paraclipse, until the owner uprooted the thing himself and threw it all out for the trash last year :eek: Pouring concrete for a new install can be just as much of a pain...

I'm in for four... Thanks Brian!

Stogie, looks like today is going to be a washout as well :( I am still up, was awake all night (as usual), but it was storming when the sun came up. Don't know if this stuff is all the way out to Slidell or not... PM me if you need me to come and help, I'll try to work out my sleep schedule :)

Stogie, I just discovered your find today! I really need to check the C-Band section of the forum from time to time. Congratulations! I love the H-H mount! Your Paraclipse is in far better condition than mine. I've been putting off working on mine due to the fact that, besides a complete...

OK, I don't usually frequent the C-Band forum (after all, since I *still* don't have my Paraclipse up, I don't qualify as a C-Bander! :) ), but seeing the word "Paraclipse" on the recent post list, I had to check it out. Anole, I say go for it. This one looks to have all of its mesh, which...
