The 12' Paraclipse has exceeded my expectations. So, I've got these two dishes pictured below that I'm not using. The 7.5' Unimesh is in great condition with the feed supports, come and get it if you want it. Make me an offer, it won't take much (10-12 spd road bike) on the 9' Birdview...

WOAH!!! Probably too far to transport.

What happened that you got screwed? You did the work and the owner changed his mind???

Oh, I've been over there to look at them more than once. :D They appear to be on mounts made for motors to move both elevation and azimuth, although neither have an actuator. Come to think of it, I've never actually measured them, based on memory and compared to the now up and running...

Same here. I had people stopping in their tracks to look at the Paraclipse I was pulling, I can only imagine what an upright dish on a trailer would garner.

Oh man, a 10' or 12' solid, I'd have been there ASAP if it was within 50 miles. I'm still bugging the heck out of the local (sorta) defunct radio station studio to let me haul either (or both) of the solid 12' dishes they have sitting.

You'd need a tilt on the pole so as to eliminate the need to lift anything higher than shoulder level.

Love it! I wish every dish could be moved like that.

Yikes, $750?!? NOS or not that's out of consideration. The other 12' perf looks good, at least in the pic, up close might be another matter.

I can tell you from experience that if you have an 8.5' trailer and prop it up like I did you'll have minimal overhang and only need some red flags. I was well within the lane markings and was so confident with it that I took a state route for 3/4 of a mile at about 6-6:30 in the evening on a...

Decisions, decisions.......... Mmmm, what to do. Get the Unimesh down off the pole first I guess. I'm afraid my mounting pole will be too short to have the dish completely vertical.

Easy Peasy Alright, despite intermittent rain as we started, three generous souls and I got the dish down, the mount removed, and loaded the dish on the 8.5' trailer for a mock up so I would know what to expect. While on the trailer my father in law pushed one side down and asked if that...

Ok, wish me luck. I'm separating the dish from the mount tonight and heading back at 5:30am to load and transport the dish, in one piece, 6 miles to it's new home. I should have pics up later tonight and with any luck it'll be operational by the end of the weekend regardless of weather. :D

No, despite a request from the wife to do so, I simply forgot give the task at hand, not really a satisfactory answer according to the wife. That means I'll be driving up there later today. :D

Thanks for this info! I was wondering about the declination adjustment etc....
