Hello Gents
Well, I am in the ARC, I scan from 72.0 W to to 127.0 today. i noticed is no much up there after 121.0W.
here are some pictures.
I need to rotate the ortho feed so the vertical LNB is on top.
GARDO - Can you tell me the focal distance of your set up?
Best regards.
Chewie

i am also curious of your measurements.

The one near my house has quite a bit of rust on it. I think a repaint job is a must for these dishes before reassembly.

i had no idea the lnb was supposed to stick thru 1 inch, very interesting.
mine came with a 4 ring scalar, is the 3 ring better?

 

[gardo403]

I probably have the original scaler somewhere as i have like 3 of them scattered aroumd here... I never noticed the different number rings...

If i remember right the LNBF holder hole does not line up right so I used this one

I wonder what commercial metal treatments might be considered. ?
Powder coaters could offer some suggestions.
They do all sort of metal prep before coating.

If I get bored... I mean real bored!!! I was thinking pressure wash it, than get ahold of some white enamel and reduce it to spray it through a gun...
