    Adventures In Dish Hunting 2010

    I looked it over very well except a string test , all the mesh looks great except one section , but maybe it can be hammered back into shape. Thanx for the the response Anole , i am sure it is a paraclipse due to the unique ribbing structure. Oh yes i am thinking about it , looks like a great...

    Scanning with a DMX741

    What Anole is sugesting is create another sat in your sat list They both can have the same name but in the setup menu have one set for ku 10750 22khz on and the other set for c band 5150 22 khz off , just to keep the 2 sats more clear , lable the one your adding c or ku wich ever the case may be .

    Thomson Saginaw Actuator question

    All the gears looked great . The one mechanical thing i found bad was the magnets came lose are just floating around in the body . As i mention in the previuos thread i swapped the motor and gear housing out for a more updated one . The Saginaw is going on the shelf for parts . The unit works...

The results are the same , just moves a few revs then clicks inside the motor area .Ths arm is so well built i want to get this...

As the mechanics go i am sure i can revive it , at the same time it has to look good if it's going to...

    C Band system in local swap sheet - fair price?

    Take your time iafirebuff , this is the perfect time of year to find a free setup or very low priced sysytem. I think $150.00 is a bit high , as Anole said you will most likely run into other cost . I myself have aquired 2 bud systems for 0$ . Most people just want them out of there yard...
