Hey Stogie, can you tell me what kind of LNB bracket it that please on the dish with the tripod arm?

Ok guys,I have located all of the material necessary for the repairs except the paint. I'll use .5" EMT conduit for the struts and 1.5" C purling for the main arm. In case I need a wider area to attach the LNB I'll attach a piece of Z purlin that I have. Polgyver thanks for all the pointers, I...

Well you are Richyrich, I'm not. I cant afford that, besides I like the challenge I'll enjoy restoring this dish. Thanks again to everyone for the tips and advice.

My dish is an offset and I will be restoring it to its original state and using it as it was meant to be used.The question was just out of curiosity like I said but I understand now. Its very interesting when you think about it though.

Yup, I'll try to locate some rectangular tubing soon, I think it will be better suited for the center arm. I'll check the hardware store, I might even be able to salvage some from an old metal bed. It wont be heavy, the beds are made from thin metal tubing, it might even be lighter than the...

That part is easy, what about the main arm, what can I use for that?

What kinda conduit Fat Air? electrical metal conduit? I'm an electrician too so I have some around the house or I can buy a length if needed. I'll still need some patterns though cuz all I have are offset dishes with the fixed mounted arms. Thanks Polgyver.

Noted and corrected, thank you.

I'm not seeing anything with regards to dishes on the Channel Master site, did they stop making dishes?

Yes this model comes with one only. I'd love to find a spec sheet for mine. I'm searching right now. As we speak I'm on the Channel Master website.

I didnt think it would be necessary since I have the model number / part number. I've realized the mold number corresponds with the size of the dish. I notice that the mold number for your 1.2M is 1.2M-1 and the number for my 1.1M is 1.1M-1

Ok thanks Fat Air. Its 47.5" vertical. The model number is 3040929. I didn't get the link to the mirror method but I was sitting a few weeks ago and an idea came to me to place a mirror on the lnb and see where the light hits on the dish but I wasn't sure it would work and how exactly to...

Xtgold maybe they weren't used in your market. The dish is 1.115 meters or 111.5 cm or 43.5" which works out to 3.625 ft which can be rounded off to 4ft but not precisely. I have another Directv fiber glass dish that's exactly 36" or 3 ft both are Channel Master brand, I have an 18" Directv dish...

Ok thanks Fat Air. What about elliptical dishes?

My 2 dishes are round dishes not elliptical but whats the proper way to measure the size? Is it across the dish as in left to right or top to bottom? One dish measures 36" across but 38" top to bottom and other is 46" across but 48" top to bottom.

I have dish that I wanna repair guys. Its a 4' fiber glass channel master. The arm broke off and lost when they took it off the house so it has no arm. There is also a hole about 1" diameter. I wanna fix the hole and repaint the dish. What are the guidelines in terms of choosing the right type...
