I can't believe I am selling this, but my plans have recently changed and It's now time to send this classic dish on to a new home. My Kaultronics (SS-120) 9.5 foot stainless steel dish (Avatar picture). The dish is 100% functional. Fits a standard 3.5" pole mount. selling for $100. I am...

Thanks to all for the help on this. I never did find a service manual but I did find enough info to realize I did not have a calibration issue after all. :)

jkara - check your PM.

Alignment mostly, but having a manual would be worthwhile for other aspects too.

I am searching for a SERVICE manual for an Avcom PSA 37-d. Does anyone have a pdf or know where I might find one? Google search is not providing much help. Thanks

Yes - most definitely it's ALL about the money. However -- When they dropped AMC a few years ago I dropped them and didn't think twice about it.. The customer is ALWAYS right - how quickly they forget!!

Are there any dealers around the East coast that sell the GEO Sat Pro 1.2 meter dish. Wanting to buy one but the shipping cost is quite high to have it shipped from California. Any ideas??

Post some pictures of the steel dish if you can. I have a 10 foot Kaul-Tronics steel dish (see avatar) - it has a sticker (which is faded) but you can still read manufactured Sept 1984. That puts it right at 30 years old..

One helpful hint that I found was to move the dish to the ground (temporary) while getting used to the alignment process - especially with a motor. Then once you feel comfortable with that, move it back up to the roof... It worked for me :)

I have one very similar to yours - this is what I did for mounting an LNB. This dish is currently not in use, but is stored in my barn.. hence the dirt :(.. When I had it up and running the results were very impressive.

Just my opinion - your best choice will be to replace the actuator with one that will generate the pulses needed.

It is difficult to tell from the pictures, but is that an analog counter circuit in the actuator - (a potentiometer that is used for the position) . If so, it is not going to work with a Vbox which requires pulses.

Any bracket can help this to become stable. - Once the dish is assembled with the other pieces you will never notice the broken weld. It would only be an issue while it is disassembled like it is the the photo.

Use dishpointer.com as a starting point to find the general location and parameters for setting this dish. http://www.dishpointer.com/ Then as previously pointed out - adjust the dish VERY SLOWLY while watching the meter. I also recommend (for the first time) taking a TV set out to the dish and...
