FREE C/Ku Complete System

[PansatBill]

Howdy,

I haven't played with my complete C/Ku satellite system setup in a few years, so it's time to

move it along to someone who would enjoy it. I'm in San Francisco. Anybody in the Bay Area want

this gear? I can provide more details of I get a response. Note the dish would need to pulled up

with a rope and walked across my flat roof to get it to the street. Bring a truck and have fun!

I'd LOVE to have that dish, but I'm 2,400 miles away from you. Somebody nearby, PLEASE grab this dish!

Talked with Bill on a local Amateur Radio net this morning and no one has rescued this beauty!

Bill will be scrapping it if no one takes it.

The AJAK HH 180 could be a great refit for a 10' mesh or...

Didn't TV Junkie PM him about it?

Bill said some stopped by to look at it, but did not take. I suggested that he also try posting on Craigslist before scrapping it, but am afraid this would also result in it going to a scrapper.

He got a quote from a removal service of $900.

Really hope someone gets it besides a scrapper. I'd consider getting it but that's about 2700 miles too far.

Wish i had the room for it. ugh

IF you are close enough and nobody else gets it, please grab it even if you have to stash it for now. Don't let it be scrapped. You can always trade, give, or sell it off to somebody.

Looks heavy and it looks to be one piece. Tricky to take off roof.

Two people and a rope could do it. I'd take that dish in a heartbeat, but I'm 2,400 miles away. There's NOTHING around here like that one. Hydroformed dishes are among the very best for gathering signal due to a much more accurate surface. That 7.5ft dish likely out-performs some of the 10ft dishes.

Do I even have to mention the fact it comes with a Ajak HH180, the holy grail of aiming devices? It would be a real shame for that to all be smashed flat in a junkyard somewhere...

I just found the manual for this dish: http://www.mcgeedesigns.com/pdf/hydro7.5.pdf

 

[c-spand]

is this aluminum?

 

[primestar31]

is this aluminum?

Yes, heavy gauge aluminum. The heaviest part will be the Ajak. They are quite chunky. IF you are going to get it, you are best off to remove it all as ONE piece. Loosen the bolts holding the Ajak and dish to the pole, lift it UP and OFF, and lower it to the ground after tying rope to it in a balanced way. Personally, I'd have two guys on the roof, and one guy on the ground.

See my above post, I found the manual, and you can look at it there or download it.

The dish is ground mounted on a pole. To remove the reflector from the property, it would need to be transported across the roof. The reflector is very light weight and easy to move when separated from the HH mount.

And my back downhill neighbor offered to help drop it down over the fence with a rope and carry it out to the street below. MUCH easier than getting it across my roof. TVJUNKIE expressed interest and we had a few friendly email exchanges but he hasn't responded to my last message a few months ago. The AJAK H-H motor needs cleaning/lube and new limit microswitches.

Omg, I hope no 1 lets this 1 slip.

 

[c-spand]

wow that is a douzey of a move.
