Hey Swampman,
Thanks!!
I think mine is the 3" variety because it wouldn't tighten down on my non-penetrating mount mast which is 2-3/8".
I picked up a Primestar 75e on the way home from Church. I know I have driven past that house lots of times, but there happened to be the father and two teen-age boys out washing their cars. I had my 16 year old daughter with me, and she begged me not to stop, but I said that I needed to stop because there was someone at home.
Pulled in, and asked about it, and the father said go ahead and take it. I jumped out and walked around to get my tools out, and realized I had taken them out yesterday.
I told him I would be back for it a little later and mentioned that all that held it onto the pole was a 13 mm socket. He said to hang on, and walked into the garage and walked back out with a ratchet and socket and a pair of snips for the coax.
Five minutes later, I was on my way with the dish in the back. It has a piece of the side flange broken off on one side where he said he had hit it with the lawnmower. I just picked it up for a spare, and a spare LNB.
He said just leave the pole.
I am going to see about adapting the mount from the back of the 75e to the 1 M dish. That would make life easier.
