Polar mount for a 5' Unimesh?

[sikma]

Anyone ever heard of a polar mount for a 5' Unimesh dish? I just picked it up for free but it only has a az/el mount.

I have a 5' aluminum spun dish, someone gave me, that had a az/el mount with it. I modified it by getting an AJAK HH (Patriot) motor from Global Communications and took it to a welding shop and got them to do what they thought best to mount the motor to the dish, just make sure it's centered. They did a good job and only charged $30 for it. It works fine.

The smallest mash dish that Unimash made was a 5.9" it came with 2 polar mount ( 2.5 and 3.5 for OT pole ) and a EZ mount.

KTI was the only one made a 5.0 " mash dish with a EZ mount , The KTI 5.9" mash dish came with a polar mount and a EZ mount.

If any one out there is looking for a polar mount for a 5.0" or 5.9 " KTI mash dish i have one for sale
