Hi guys, I posted a couple years ago and I'm still trying to get a C-Band dish. I had a recent response to a Craigslist ad and a picture was sent to me. According to him, it is about 6' and he will take $50.00. I thought I had seen a similarly odd-looking dish on the forum, but I'm probably mistaken. Anyways, if anyone has an idea or opinion about this dish, thanks for the assistance.
Please help identify this dish.

Sorry, but it looks like junk. It looks like one of those $69 WSI 6ft specials all beat to death.
I have the same Fortec Ice, I use it as a prime Focus Ku dish on 125W for PBS.
It does pretty good in that role.
Thanks for the very fast responses. I will pass on this then. If he lives close to me I may go by just to get a closer look, though.i

It looks like someone purposely beat that dish up, that looks rough. If he was giving it away, I'd say take it for spare parts, the feed, LNB, actuator, etc, but I wouldn't pay anything for it.
I'll have to reread his email again. He may have been offering me me $50 to get it out of there.

Speaking of purposely beating something up, I recently saw where a hobbyist smashed an Azbox minime with a sledgehammer.

Yeah, I saw that also. A little extreme but with that box and company I can understand the frustration. 
The dish is seriously damaged! Just walk away.......not worth a penny in my opinion
Perhaps good for parts even if the reflector itself is severely damaged.
Thank you for sparking my interest again. Apart from the usual items (actuator, feed, mount, post) that can be repurposed, he may have other items of Interest to me. I'm also, still, a bit curious about the dish. I have questions for him, e.g, "Why is there a feed cover in the center of the dish?", "Do you still have the monkeys that were hanging and jumping on this dish?".

Trash the reflector,clean up the mount and actuator and plant it with a 1.2 meter offset Ku dish on the mount.
Anyway, that's what I'd do.
I'm still looking for a mount for that exact project. Build a mount from scratch? Estimates have come in way over budget.

It's one of the C/KU band LNBF's on there. I can see 2 cables on the blown up pic
It does appear to be a C/Ku. How old, what brand, is it a brand that did not even work well when new, is the question.
