Primestar dish found on junk heap. Worth it?

Went back out to the property tonight to see what tools I'd need to liberate this dish. Looks like the mount is attached to a pretty sizable pole (perhaps 6 feet long). Looks like it's at least a 3" OD. Since I don't have any pipe that big, I'm considering taking the pole, too, since it's just laying on the ground.

There is a wire box laying on the ground, connected to the 2-coax feed from the LNB. If this LNB has separate leads for V/H, would the multi-switch be inside the wire box or would that have been near the receiver? Trying to decide what is essential to take and what isn't.
 
The pole is a 2-3/8". A chainlink fence CORNER POST is exactly right.

The switch was usually on the back of the receiver, and was an old-school 12 volt type I believe. You can replace it with any 2 or 4 port DisEqc switch, or even a tone switch on a modern receiver.

Best to take everything if you can. I have the original LNB’s (one flat and oval and the other long and tubular) and by reading this thread I may want to get a C120 flange LNBF for the optimum performance. Glad I kept them.
