Tek2000 Greasy Horror Show.

I went to help out a fellow satellite enthusiast get his dishes tuned in well and come across an absolute travesty for a dish mount from Tek2000. Has anyone seen anything remotely this shoddy?? This dish came like this new in 2018!! I had to give up because the declination bolt was too short and we only needed 5.3 degrees...
I hate that I couldn't help more, but this is wack workmanship.

The declination bolt bracket on the mount is backwards. The dish side is ok.

Thanks for that. Can't believe I overlooked it. But I was in shock by the tack weld job.

You're not the first. There's already another thread somewhere about exactly this.

Also about a TEK prime focus dish with incorrect focal length (google trust but verify; is it here on satelliteguys?). So: always verify!

Dish Specs, Trust But Verify!

Purchased a new 10 footer from Tek2000 to replace my 8 footer. The weather improved to a point that I decided to go ahead and do the install. The install went as expected, up until the point and aim portion. My due south is 105W and only has S2 signals. Couldn't raise a thing, moved to...

Found it! But cannot edit my post anymore.

I'm stumped as to the point of these bolts on the sides of where you measure the elevation? These are not tapping anything and just looks terrible. I'm worried the dish will not stay plumb on the mount if any wind hits it at all while it is down on either end of the arc. I'd never pay for that.

The dish wobbles like crazy in the wind and always goes out of alignment.
My kti never wobbles.
If you find a way to fix it then let me know.
I drop it down to 43w on windy days. In the spring here in NM, that's alot of days.
