Kijiji, eBay, and Craigslist dishes for you to take a look at

$10 - 48' Ku - McKinney, TX

Would you touch this with a ten foot pole ?

That might be a 10 foot pole, but it's hard to believe it's a 48" dish.
For $10, I'd go over, cut the pole at ground level, and take whatever I got! ;)

Someone go get it and tell us more about it.
Two thumbs up: :up :up
vote for 1m to 1.2
looks kinda old and if that's true side supports only on larger ku dishes then ???
 
hmmm... not a bad drive but might offer maybe $50?????
Anole.. come give me a hand whatta u sayyyyyyyyyyyyyy lol
I normally check this thread several times per day, but missed this dish and the Birdview following.

Comes with an actuator, so that's good (most do).
Seller wants more for his LNBs, which I'd ignore.

You might get some feedback on it being an Orbitron.
Is that the one where you spin the dish to adjust declination?
I'm probably mistaken; really have no idea about that brand.

The good news is, it won't be popular at that price, so maybe you have a day to think.
The bad news is, it might be a 70 mile trip to take a look at it.

Kinda depends on how hard up you are.
If it had an H-H, an ortho, or was a top class dish, I would recommend.
As is, i have nothing to say, either way, even at $50. ;)

Edit: oh, just saw the pictures. :)
Nice looking.
You still need someone who knows the brand to offer up an opinion.
...and how it might break down.
But you know they all do... ;)

yea got it.. looks like a nice dish and in good condition. but yeah its quite a drive from the 818.
I've read this Orbitron dishes once assembled are very hard to take apart, which I would need to in order to drive 70+ miles on the hwy.
