Doubt it's a Channel Master but a VERY nice looking dish none the less.

Agree. Not ChannelMaster.

"It will need to be taken out of the dirt and possibly unconnected.
whoever buys needs to have a professional with insurance to cover any damages or injuries to themselves and property."

US$300 plus gas and pickup rental & food. hhhhmmmmmm. Maybe time for Kevin to take a road trip next Monday it's a holiday thanksgiving up here. my chances of finding an AJAK 180 in Canada are slim to none.

That one looks in nearly mint condition, so you can't go wrong. I own a Perfect Ten 10ft dish, (with polar mount though) and they are real good at picking up signal. I can only imagine how much better it would be on a HH motor. If you end up getting it, make sure you do a full lube-job to the Ajak before you reinstall it.

lol just noticed it said roswell as the craiglist locale! Alien dish pointed back to the home planet perhaps?

 

[primestar31]

Well, I just got back from an 8.5 hour drive there and back, and 2 hours to tear down the one assembled dish from that Ebay auction back some pages. The second dish was already apart.

TWO Winegard Pinnacles! One with standard square-back polar mount, and one with an Ajak H180 drive (but I didn't get the back ring for that one). I also got 4 actuators, two feedhorn covers, one odd looking Chaparral hybrid C and KU orthomode feedhorn. (has 2 regular c-band lnbs ortho-style and 1 cylinder-type ku lnb that's laying down, but sort of fits down through the middle with a tube, and the ku lnb has a servo for polarity.) I know I've seen one of these in a Pendragon mod thread, so I'll have to look that up. Anybody know anything about these particular feeds?

You guys never told me just how deep these dishes really are! You just can't get a feeling for them from photos. They are REALLY deep! When I got there at first and took a look at it, I thought: "OMG! how will I ever fit two of those in my 4x8 trailer, and drive back 194 miles safely?"

Anyway time to relax now, and see if I can check out the Ajak tomorrow, or if all my muscle will be hurting too much...

post a pic
sounds like a bullseye I.. had one for 20 years it work well back when the live feeds went to analog ku back then. it's on a 10' h-h project now....lazy me...need to get going on it.
finding the best f/d for the ku can be a bit tricky, would loosen up the arms and poke around nice to have a helper to measure it when you find it. might have to mod the ring. you well get it.
good luck

How do you identify whether a Winegard dish is a Pinnacle or not? I've got a Winegard 10 footer but don't know what it is other than that. It was installed around 1992 and replaced one that was originally installed in 1988. Storm brought a tree limb down on that one and my insurance paid for a new one, hence the 1992 model.

FYI on the Winegard polar mount types. If yours has the declination adjustment stuff on that top pivot mount you might want to check it very closely to see if it's loose like mine was. The upper dish pivot bushing mount/declination setting piece is crap. They put a punched hole in those pieces that is way too loose. I remade mine and reamed that upper ,750 dia mount hole and it's much more stable now. I also added some thick flat washers on either side of that declination adjustment bracket to help stabilize that mount. It's piss poor engineering IMHO. I like the arrangement they used on the Unimesh as it seems to be much better.

The Pinnacle is a heavy perforated 8 segment dish. It has a F/D .278 Very deep dish. The other common mesh dish was a Quad Star (quad panel) Not a deep dish.
