    One of my 11 foot glass dishs was found because of the guys who keep this list going. Currently this is the only source for good low cost C band dishs. Thanks for the effort. Who is willing to pay what new big dishs would cost today? Thanks again guys!

    Name that feed horn

    Some thing to remember about many of the 10 foot Winegards dishs (I have two model 1088) is they are of deeper design. Some of the early single output feedhorns were of fixed scaler position so the "golden ring" was made to extend the length of the feedhorn throat. A little "fuzz" probably not a...

    I wonder just how many fish today are swimming around in a former sat dish? Sad!

    If it is going in the garden just paint it to look like a big sunflower. Tell the landlady that the little sunflower has grown up a bit. If she still is in doubt then say you are having communications with ET's home planet and offer to share the great cook book that ET is sending down to you...

    If I can find my way through the tall Iowa corn I will pick up the Iowa City Craigslists dish tomorrow. Thanks for the tip here guys. I think its just an 8 foot Unimesh. But the polar mounts are handy to have spares and sometimes the arm motors still are in working condition. But when your good...

    The tall corn does that to your vision. I have a 10 foot unimesh and I just got two weeks ago an 8 foot unimesh. Looking over the pictures I think that Iowa City dish is an 8 foot unimesh dish. I am probably about 20-25 miles away from that dish.

    That Iowa City dish includes a GI 450I receiver also.

    That one is near me. A couple weeks ago I picked up an 8 foot unimesh which also had a good 4DTV 922 unit with two remotes and a good battery and unit ID number. I plan to use the polar mount with a 1.8 meter glass dish I have. This dish just "looks" small because of that tall corn nearby. But...

    Just another big "thank you" for the heads up with the Alburnet dish shown here recently. Like a stray kitten looking for a new home I have that dish now purring in my dish farm. The 11.5 foot fiberglass pannels went up yesterday. Being a cat person it was strange that one of the first channels...

    What tool to cut off C Band Dish PIPE?

    I'm thinking if one were to "ram the pipe with a car or truck" that you "might" want to borrow someone elses car or truck. If you use the front bumper one could set off the air bag during the ramming phase. Buying a saws-all is looking cheaper and cheaper now. My last three pipe removal jobs...

    The Alburnet dish is like the white dish in my Avita picture. 11.5 foot and 8 fiberglass pannels. Heavy. The 6 inch concret filled 7.5 foot pole was heavy but just a one day job to take apart including pulling up the 6 inch post. The Thomas Saginaw ball screw arm is in great, tight, and working...

    Alburnett sat dish Thanks for the heads up about this dish. It was about 5 miles from me and now has found a home in my yard. I already have the "sister" dish to this one installed and working. The dish was 11.5 foot eight pannel fiberglass on a 6 inch cement filled 7.5 foot post. The other...
