Big Dish in backyard. Scrap?

[rkemb170]

First time on this website. If I'm in the wrong area, accept my apologies. Maybe direct me to the right area? I bought a house with a huge dish in the backyard. I need to know if it's scrap or if anyone wants it? I'll attempt to attach pictures. Thank you for your help!!!

Doesn't look at all like scrap to me. Nice dish! Should be able to find somebody to give it a new home.

looks like a 6 footer... I'm sure someone here will want it...

You know that with a little help from the folks here you could have a new fun hobby yourself - - - you already have a BUD - - - all you need now is a receiver and a little knowledge.

Can you bring it here, I'll take it

 

[Auric]

Looks to be in great shape, if I was closers I would definitely take it. You should pick up a Coolsat 6000 & a VBox...It would give you a lot of free tv

Looks in okay shape.
The dish is probably aluminum (?), so it looks new.
The rust on the mount isn't too bad to cure with a little TLC.

It's either a 6' dish, or that's a way-too-big motor.
Either way, we'll try to get someone to remove it for you, if we can.

Depending, the person might dig out the pole (and concrete on the bottom [hope it has some]), or maybe hack it off at or below ground level.
Most times, we want/need the pole, but it's a matter of how much trouble the thing is to remove.
Is there access to the pole by a vehicle.?
Some members back a truck up to the pole once the dish is off, and tie a chain around it, and tug it slightly to get it loose.

If you can measure straight across the dish, that would be helpful, too. :up

Not to sound ignorant, I would take it to the scrap yard. You'll get about $50

HERETIC!!!!
I could not afford to drive that far to get it, but my 10 foot Winegard and my 11 foot steel unknown dishes were both severally damaged by the wind several months ago.
That looks way too good to scrap.

them's fightin' words:

Normally I like Claude, but this time I think we're gonna have to tar 'n feather him! :rant:

Go back to your DBS, and leave the BUDs to the FTAers! : : :

looks like a uni-mesh, 92 " , like mine. 7.5 or 8ft ?

 

[sergei]

I have to agree that it's a nice dish so if you don't want it I might be very interested in getting it from you. Question just what part of Indianapolis do you live in?
Your only 450 miles (900 total) from me and later in June or July I'll be coming back to pick up another Siberian Huskies from Karnovanda Kennels.


. Email me with a phone number and we can talk.

That looks like a nice dish.. Are there still cables running from the dish into the house? If you are interested in watching some FREE tv (100% legal) , you could definitely make use of that dish to tune into the signals direct from the satellite. Free-To-Air receivers are very reasonably priced these days.

 

[Corrado]

It figures a Dish Network retailer would say it's scrap.

I would make use of it, the hardest part is already done. The dish is installed.

I second that. It will surprise you what you can pickup with that beauty.

Well, it looks like we both have and interest in it as I asked him in an earlier posting and so far have not heard anything back from him yet.

 

[gardenman2002]

Well good luck,
I havent heard anything from him either. It would be nice, since i only have a 6 fter and trying to get the retro channels that need a bigger dish. Oh well i will save and buy an 8 ft dish from sadoun.

There was some posting at first that it looks like a 6 footer which is what I need and if it turns out not to be then I'll have no interest in it. Just have to hear back from him with a measurement so I'll know just what it is. Hopefully he get back to use this week.
