Today I scored a 10' BUD (free of course!) and try as I might, I can find no identifying labels or names on it. Here's what I know about it.....

10'
Dark gray color.
Comes in 4 "petals" which are aluminum
The mesh is held on with screws and does not have round holes.
About 2/3 way out on each petal is a brace which is round tubing and is arc shaped.
The petals are held together with 1/4-20 bolts.
The feed assembly is held by 4 poles which hook to the edge of the dish.
The screw jack looks original and is an HTS brand
The scalar ring says "780" on it and it has a 30 deg LNB.
The LNB cover looks like a big gum drop.
It looks a lot like a Unimesh dish

Any body know what brand this might be?
 
Ok I think I got it

Here's 3 pics of the mystery dish

Can you see the BUD in this pic?

It looks worse than it is. A little sand blasting and paint and Voi-la!

Yes, I installed many of these and always got very good results. If I remember correctly, the F/D ratio is .375 and the focal distance is 44 5/8" to the feed throat.
