Winegard? 7.5 score

[mr_rye89]

Found this and 90cm dish with an SG-2100 on it “free for scrap” on CL. The mount says Winegard, feed cover says KTI, has a nice Chaparral feed/rotor with C and Ku LNBs, actuator is present, but I think I’m missing a plate that goes in the middle of the 4 sections of dish

I transplanted that sg 2100 to my 90cm Geosat and it works great for being on a wobbly crooked pole lol, and I tested that actuator that came with the mesh dish and it works great! Looks to have a hall sensor and a limit switch. I don’t know about the polorotor feed, my vbox doesn’t have provisions for that…..

How did you get 7.5 out of a 90 cm dish?

The 90cm dish came with a 7.5 ft Winegard mesh dish lol. Somebody junked their FTA setup and I grabbed it.

I have it most of the way up. That nice light reflector was easy to toss on the mount by myself. That bit of metal in the center is a burned out “NO DUMPING” sign i pilfered out of the recycle pile at work, the paint on it is drying now……

It seems to work as good as the 8.5 spun dish despite being smaller. Still got a little tweaking to do but this one is a keeper. Not worried about the 5G cuz it’s behind a house with a pro panel roof
