My daughter lives in southwest Missouri. I was driving around down there on NB State Route 59 this afternoon and came across this gem:

That's awesome. There's one NICE Winegard still worth owning in that batch. I wouldn't mind owning that one for sure. One of those black ones looks like maybe an Orbitron, and the other an Echostar?
P.S. I owned one of those square fiberglass dishes with a polar mount. It was from a former motel headend, but worked well. VERY heavy, and used a 36" actuator. I finally got rid of it, and chopped it up with a circular saw.

The Winegard looks like the one that I have.
There were a bunch more pieces and parts scattered toward the back of the property. I may have to call this guy up sometime and see if he wants to get rid of anything. I hope to buy a truck this Fall and will have a lot more flexibility when it comes to moving hardware.
Call him right away and at least let him know you are interested. I've seen this before, and it's very likely if you hold off, you'll end up finally calling him only to find out he gave them all away for scrap.
Get that Winegard for sure. No need to grab all the rest. If there's any orthomode feedhorns though, try to get those.

Buy in bulk and save!
I only partially investigated a few years ago, but there was/is a place like you posted around Emporia.
