    Scalar Ring alignment tool for BUD

    We talked about this before. I suggested a laser from a 99-cent store...or several, if necessary. :) Problem with them is that their beam is not coaxial...not parallel to the outside body. The first step is solving that problem. :up . edit: a variation on Fat Airs spinning technique was put...

    Birdview spoon

    We did brainstorm the problem this summer. Phlat came up with an excellent suggestion to make it track/work. . Even if it did track, I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense for Ku, nor is it big enough for great C band...? . Absent any follow up, I would steer clear of this dish. The wonderfully...

    Which Receiver To Get

    For $250, you could have two microHD receivers: http://www.satelliteav.com/p/shop/?ws_pid=1593&ws_cat=446 they have had good support since day-one, including here on this forum does fine HD, and excelent rendering of SD video, too . ?

    How many channels FTA on 58W - CBand?

    It is very difficult to move the focus in & out without changing the F/D. Or vice versa. Moving the feed in/out within the fixed scalar, changes both. . If you don't have some good calculations or data to use for set up, the ideal is a button hook which clamps onto the feed directly. You...

    Watta heck, for those who care .. My 10FT CBAND mission in progress

    congratulations! Wow, for a guy who couldn't find a decent dish to save his life... ...and now you find two Pinnacles within 5 miles of home!!?? Well, that's the way it happens sometimes. (it was for me, too) . Plenty of good info on the forum about them, so you're in fine company. :up ;) . ?

    Prime - sorry, I was a page out of synch, and really should have quoted what I was commenting on...especially since it turned out to be on a previous page. :)

    I don't see the "inclined orbit" part, and have no advice on Perfect 10's. ?But it does look like a nice dish, and Ajak 180's are very desirable! :) :up

    What name brand is This dish?

    As nice a looking mesh as you might hope for. ?How much?

    Agree. Not ChannelMaster. I don't get turned on by pretenders. ;) ?

    Look like a 6'er to me. :down ?.

    A Winegard Pinnacle is a very nice perforated 10' dish. One of the few I lust for. And that does appear to be an Ajak 180 motor. I would pay $100 for either. And I'm pretty cheap and hard to impress. So let's see this package gets a good home. ;) .

    Remember where these dishes come from. Fixed as/el is what they are bought for. There is nobody installing commercial Ku dishes to sweep the arc. Just no commercial application. So, when we run across one of these beauties surplus , we put it on a motor! :) .

    Pro96- save your pictures and start your own thread. I want to enjoy the entire saga. :up ?.

    Yet another dish in the northwest. ?Just rubbing it in. ;)

    10ft dish

    Goodmi, pro96 has been shopping for something larger for some time, now. He scored, so be encouraged by his patience and success. . When I first started looking, I didn't think any Birdview dishes made it to the west coast. Then in the next few years, I discovered more than half a dozen out...

    Micro HD and APC from Rick's Satellite

    If you are going ortho, I would recommend starting a new thread. ?This one is dead.

    Wasn't someone in the northwest recently trying to buy a new BUD because they couldn't find a used one? Spend $300, rent a truck or trailer, take a friend and go get this one. :up ?.

    analog channels left

    Yes, in addition to setting up the receiver properly, remember that most LNBF s mount wrong. They need to be rotated 90 degrees.

    Please ID This Dish

    Now THAT would be a very good use for a 6'er! ;)

    Please ID This Dish

    I wouldn't spend any serious cash on a 6'er, especially when you have a 10'. For the work of recovering and installing it, you could have something better. ?.

    8' perf? ?Looks terrible. Probably fine on C band. . But if it's a beat up fiberglass, then it's beyond hope. .

    He says aluminum, so it could be a Birdview! ;)

    C band LNBF install

    I assume that's a very old style. Dont hear about 'em often. Pretty much everything in the last ... 15? ... 25? years, has used a separate rremovable scalar. . I'm going to bet you need M8 screws, But that's just from memory.

    IF that Cincinnati perf is what I think it is, it'd be well worth the effort! 8' or maybe 10', one piece stamped (or spun) perforated aluminum dish like the one in my signature. ?Dont let that go to the scrappers!

    C band LNBF install

    Yes, metric. . Why don't you keep the old scalar? ?
