heh.. I got the dish home.. Its going to need a little work.. I have all the pieces, but alot of the hardware needs replacing (rusted out).. It appears to be a M/A-Com M2001, either a 8.5 or 9 foot dish from eyeballing it. I will measure it in the morning.
There are three mesh panels not in the dish, but I have them all, just need to be put back in.
This came with a motorized mount, its one beastly little H-H motor! Its not your normal c-band actuator and polarmount, its more like a glorified SG2100.
I am going to tinker with it on saturday, see if I can get some analog channels just by lifting it up, and pointing in the sky.. I dont really have anywhere to mount it at the moment, and its getting colder outside very quickly, so my time to even play is dwindling.
But, I cant wait to mount up my c/ku feedhorn.. I will have to buy another ku lnb and probably one more c band lnb to complete the whole setup.

Its a big ole 36v motor with a worm gear on it.. I have seen them on other peoples threads...
I am in the process of taking everything apart to clean it, replace old steel hardware, and repaint things.. I may disassemble the motor and refurb that too (new grease, paint, replace hardware)

The thing that confuses me the most right now is the fact that the feedhorn mount is a metal pole that connects to the middle of the feedhorn... I dont see how signal can pass thru that??
I may "upgrade" that to a tri or quad pole mount
