THE DISH: 31" Run of the mill Dish
THE RECEIVER: Drake 1424
I was bored today... very bored, i threw my dish on a barel, and hooked up a 3700, i got the info channel off expresvu 91 (which makes me belive the receiver has ancient firmware on it, because it didnt work a couple moths ago with an old 301
Anyway, I got a little burn out watching the info channel, so I look at the dish, then i spot my old corottor II sitting nearby from my old perfect 10, then
!
I took the corottor II and sat it on the feed arm. Then I turned the drake on to tp 17 which is a buena vista feed, which is really strong.
Rotated the dish and lo and behold!
also i went to an auction with my father and spotted a 12 foot unimesh!! I talked him into going there he did, i got out and asked the guy he said sure, take it, so i looked it over first, there was a couple bents up spots near the edge, but a little hammering would of fixed it, it also had a very macho looking acautor with a weather boot, so i went to get my tools, the guy walks two foot out the door, and says "Hey Buddy, I changed my mind, leave it alone!!"
I got to looking at it a little more, the mesh was coming apart in a couple spots, and there were a couple holes in, that look like they were made by a lawn dart!
I dont know what made the dude changed his mind, maybe he was Bi-polar? but anyway, thats the last dish i can think of in my area so it looks like im stuck with the $150 Perfect 10, witch i might try to jip him down to $125
Unless anyone wants to haul a dish to 61401 for $100, if you do, pm me!
