Looks like brand-new...

He says he is a satellite installer and you cannot find the EchoStar brand mesh dishes anymore, figured it was a good price for what is there....mount, LNb for c/KU band, acuator, and pole.

hi o'doyle. welcome to our forum. agreed the price isn't too outrageous for everything there. some people ask for way more for just the dish only & some give em away for free in exchange for removal labor. its already disassembled on the ground so that's worth a little more money. I love the fta hobby (so my judgement might be biased) but if it was my money i'd say go for it. i love c-band fta. lotsa cool stuff to watch. it isn't a direct replacement for cable or Dish/Direct however. trying to get both bands c&ku on a prime focus dish can be difficult so some members have separate dishes for each band YMMV. don't know your financial situation so 500 may be a small fortune. echostar dishes aren't made anymore & were good quality BITD. looks like your gonna need to get a diseq1.2 controller for the linear actuator & feedhorn motor. since that feedhorn is a polarotor you'll need a Titanium ASC1 to control both the feedhorn motor & linear actuator motor. ASC1'S are generally good units.

I told the guy I would make arrangements to come pick it up in the next week or so, my gut feeling was it looks like a good deal, I will keep you all posted on my outcome...thanks for the input tho.. always appreciated

The price seems a bit high for as cold as it will be for a while. Anyway....It includes a 4D receiver and according to the guy it last moved in 2008. The receiver model number/ Part number is 407829-001. Its quite close to my house. Thoughts?

[Magic Static]

I would grab the dish. The receiver has no value to me.

 

[phlatwound]

Well it IS "capable of moving to different galaxies", that should be worth something.

8 footer? Would be a good buy at $100, with or without the 4D, if it's in good condition w/pole.

$30-$50 for a 7.5ft mesh here in my area (California) is typical. If its a 10ft (doubt it) maybe $50-$100. I suggest no value whatever to the satellite Receiver these days.

 

[Morbius]

It appears to be a 8' dish. I think $75 is a fair price when it gets a little warmer. Oddly enough i saw it yesterday when i was getting off the highway and sure enough it shows up on craigslist today.

 

[waylew]

The 4D is a 920 so,unless the battery has been changed it's likely dead,the ID is lost and can't be used for subscription.It still could be used as a dish mover and a "radio" even with a bad ID,if a new battery was installed.

 

[radio]

Some Satguys member needs to get this.....(after some negotiation).......
and NOT use it (only) for advertising being painted in it. If it was 50 percent closer, It'd be "road trip!"
Don't let a Birdview be abused!

 

[dotbatman]

wow, that's a beautiful dish. wish I lived in NC.

 

[radio]

All Birdviews are beautiful! If there's one near you, GRAB it. Unless you're near me, in which case, It'll be first come, first serve..and I WILL be first! (insert chuckling here.)....All kidding aside, they're the BEST, adaptable to today's technology with little trouble, and they last forever. I hope whomever gets this one explains that getting the pole out is not tough, and gets the whole thing. The top of the poles for these have a dual lockdown, one for preventing axis turning, and one that holds the cap tight on the top for no tilt. REALLY well designed.
