I've had this for a while, played with it a bit over the summer, but i am finally getting around to really dialing it in on 99w. It fit on a 3" post that I used for the button hook dish, the feed was set up for a transmitter and a normal Ku LNB, transmitter is long gone but the larger NJRC LNB is still on it along with that smaller (and maybe flaky) LNB that came off the Quadstar/co rotor setup. The feed looks like it separates vertical and horizontal signals across 2 LNBs, but in practice it's kind of a mixed bag. The larger LNB seems to see both H and V signals while the smaller one just sees H signals. Maybe someone here knows more about it than me. And like I said in the other thread I obtained it legitimately. It was on a non penetrating mount on a roof of a property I manage, the roof was being replaced, post master said I could take it. I guess they have xfinity.

I don't remember the measurements but the dish is slightly vertically oblong. I'll also have to grab a pic of where it says "1.2 meter, mold number blah blah blah, Made in USA..." I'm not sure if Prodelin built it or what.

That looks like a 1.2 meter Fiberglass type, and the mounting head on the back has a strong resemblance to Primestar.
Take a look at any numbering on the top rear area of the reflector to determine if this is Channel Master, Prodelin, or something else.
 
Channel Master made 2 versions of 1.2m antenna. Most common one (part # 3040646) with offset angle 22.6* and opening angle 80*.

You've got a long-focus antenna, most of the time used for VSAT needs, and it has an offset angle about 16* and opening angle about 60*.
 

Any one not getting the Weigel channels?
