There seems to be a few of these around my part of the world. About maybe one in 10 or 15 looks like this.
It looks like my Perfect 10 but with an H2H mount.
Anyone know?

The only trick part is that it's on a roof

For a while I was not looking at mesh dishes because I had one and I wanted a Birdview. Then I was driving down the road and I saw a mesh dish without an actuator. I hung a "U" turn and saw one that looked a lot like this one.

I started to pay attention after that.

It seems like brands of dishes are area specific. Must be the dealer that sold TVROs in each area had his favorite brand
 
Looks like a Unimesh with an Ajax 180 H to H mount. Was going to get the H to H mount back when I got my 12 foot Unimesh new in 89. Glad I didn't now since changing a bad actuator is a lot easier then fixing the H to H mount with no new parts available these days.
 
Yea, TVroPro is right.
I've got pictures archived of all three AJAK motor sizes, and that looks like the large one.
Linuxman posted 'em a while back, if you want other views, and internal pix.
Also have a manual, which I probably also found here.

Seem to recall him saying it was big 'n heavy (60+ lbs).
And had his Winegard Pinnacle, ten foot dish on it.

edit: Talking to Linuxman and he says your dish looks like maybe a Unimesh...
 
On my Unimesh, and most Iv'e seen, the LNBF support arms connect a few inches inside the rim on the Dish. Those look to connect at the rim.
I'd guess Perfect 10.
 
Lak7 is correct about the support arms.

my unimesh dish looks exactly like that except for the support arms
the same goes for my 10 ft odem looks just like it except for the support arms .

doesn't look like a sami either
 
It is an Ajak 180 H-H mount but I don't think the dish is Unimesh because the inner mesh support is round tubing and the Unimesh dishes had square tubing. Maybe a Perfect 10.
