In the photo, that looks like a spanner hole to me. That bearing/bushing holder might just thread out of the tube if you can apply the right rotational torque to it. Sent from my Commodore P.E.T. using the SatelliteGuys app!

If the buttonhook is structurally sound, as Titanium states, keep it. If you want to stabilize it more, then you can fashion guy wires and turnbuckles to keep it from sagging. Sent from my Commodore P.E.T. using the SatelliteGuys app!

When you have the motor set for USALS and it is on 97, set it to no motor. This should keep it on where the motor thinks 97 is. It shouldn't be too difficult once you turn the motor off. Peak moving left and right(azimuth), and then up and down(elevation). Once you have peak on 97, lock down and...

Not sure if Nickless still has them. www.nsccom.com I picked a couple up from them a few years back. Sent from my SM-N975U using the SatelliteGuys app!

Thanks for the responses. I still haven't retrieved it due to extreme heat and now rain. I will try to document the rescue process. I fit my last 10 foot rescue into a Subaru Outback, but have better options this go round. Sent from my SM-N975U using the SatelliteGuys app!

It is a 10' and I'm working out when to get it. It will move 50 miles east and 10 miles north, so I'm going to pull the reflector off the mount and halve it and try to not move anything on the mount. Markers, string, and Ziploc bags to isolate the parts. Not my first one, so I know the drill...

I think this is an 8 footer. I can get it for free. I prefer a 10 footer, but free is good. Could it be a 10'? I know it is a winegard. Sent from my SM-N975U using the SatelliteGuys app!

Have you done the string test to make sure the geometry is still good? Did you do anything that would affect the parabola? It sounds like you have done a lot of different things that should have delivered results if the dish were true. You have enough knowledge and ability that is for sure. You...

Here is the translation: Is this piece for sale .. ?? It is rare and precious This piece is called H to H is not it .. ?? Just helping a fellow enthusiast out. Sent from my SM-N975U using the SatelliteGuys app!

Great suggestion Rima. I am always envious of your fabrications. Rambo, nice work with your project. Time spent setting things up precisely up front will mean more time enjoying the signals and less time fiddling with things later.

Looks like a 2 axis control system to me. Elevation is controlled by the standard actuator and azimuth is controlled by the drive you have circled in red.

It sounds to me like the receiver is working and just needs to scan the current signals in. You said yor dish was aligned to 55w. Press the menu button on the receivers remote control when the TV displays "No Ch" and see if anything happens.

Did you use an ohm meter to verify that at least one wire is bad?

If you are near St. Louis, I have a KTI polar mount for a 10'. Pretty sturdy.

Wasn't there a fix for the fence post difference? Like a pvc coupling slightly bored out to make up the difference? This was the case with the bargain dish from WSI.

A lot of us know that Brian was trolling with that acronym. A few of us knew it was the Wife Approval/Acceptance Factor. If the wife can pick up a remote and easily find something to watch, the WAF is high.

If you do that, make sure you use some anti-sieze compund. The dissimilar metals cause a galvanic reaction that can be like welding or in the worst case, accelerate corrosion.

The other consideration is how you are going to power the LNBs. This is more important if you will be using multiple receivers at the same time. I used the 8115 version for my c-band setup and was very pleased.

You will not regret purchasing a quality 1.2M.

If you are using steel threaded rod in aluminum nubs, make sure you use a good anti-sieze compound. There WILL be a galvanic reaction between dis-similar metals.

The latest PLL LNBFs are priced right for us tinkerers. Less than $50 for a Ku band PLL LNBF and less than $60 for a C band PLL LNBF now.

I kept my 10' kti polar mount for a future project involving one of these Prodelins. The Prodelins are heavy dishes. I doubt I could handle the dish alone. At the edge of a roof on a pole to boot? Definitely not a 1 man job if the dish can be had for a decent price.

With 3D printing becoming more common, parts like this made of metal should be more readily available. The laser sintering method builds items up in very precise increments.

Magic is right. Snake oil as it was presented in the photo. You would be better off using a Dremel tool and mating two metal scalars.

Welcome swynens! If you have any tech experience change the battery yourself. It is not too daunting a challenge. If the unit ID on screen matches what is on the back panel, you haven't lost anything, yet. ATS is no longer in business and the other person/company that performs the battery...
