    Installing LNB's on Primestar and Vsat KU dishes

    It looks like I can change out the the LNB brackets on the all-metal 1's. Idk how 2 navigate the other 2, they're kinda odd.

    Installing LNB's on Primestar and Vsat KU dishes

    I've made 6 acquisitions since the 2 Prodelins a few yrs ago, n I'm not sure how 2 go abt using the FTA LNB's since I'm not finding any that will mate 2 the 4-bolt or 6-bolt feedhorns. I was able 2 decase a DTV single LNB, discovered that the throat can b clamped in the LNB holder on the Channel...

    Rescued two Prodelins, need help otherwise

    Update on THAT dish, that wasn't even supposed to be done with it. The owner was going to scrap it anyway, but didn't want the time spent fooling around with it and pitting up the lawn in the process. Upon discussing it with the owner, a chewing out session followed with the young man...

    I'm trying. I would have wound up with a mesh dish, still on the pole, and with the concrete ball on the bottom end. Until someone else got to that and cut it up.

    Rescued two Prodelins, need help otherwise

    I'm still alive. And trying to figure out where I left off. No new news, really. I really need to pick these up and bring them home. Provided the larger one wasn't involved in the storm last year everything is hopefully how I left it. Its amazing what you lose track of when everything else ties...

    Fiber optic may be the wave of the future, but C and Ku are sure to remain an integral part of it.

    Rescued two Prodelins, need help otherwise

    Always open to ideas, and at this point, there are no bad ones. I just might do this over the top of all of the repairs to finish it down smooth.

    stogie5150's Prodelin Project

    Same two dishes I found. Was this place a dealership, too? You scored more points here than I did. I offered up $80 originally for the 1.8, and $40 for the 1.2, and the boss said I could just take 'em. I should try putting my money where my mouth is at demol sites too. Might get farther than...

    Rescued two Prodelins, need help otherwise

    It sure did. Set pretty solid and doesn't look like it's going to jump off of it either. Watch this spot. More coming when I hit it again.:cool

    Rescued two Prodelins, need help otherwise

    Here's what I got. Not near as bad as I thought it would be. If I can find a way to get this stuff to pack in better, the rest there will fill in nicely. There's enough spaghetti over the one hole and weathering around it that I should be able to throw a piece of mat or cloth on it and that...
