As mentioned elsewhere, today is the day I was finally (after several years of waiting) allowed to remove an old dish/motor and ancillaries from a tenanted farm property up the road.
Despite rusty fasteners and a couple of snapped wall fixings, it only took about an hour.
So what I have acquired is a dish 106cm*98cm (Not yet identified make), a Geotrack Silent Gold 99 36v motor, a pair of 12" T&K (In surprisingly good nick), plus a farmyard length of 4 core and ditto coax.
Haven't the slightest idea what to do with it all yet, but there's no rush.
What I do have in mind is to add a bracket to my existing T&K and then to re-instate my TD110.
BUT, having originally thought the dish I've just got was a 1.2m, and now knowing it is actually marginally smaller than the TD110, I might bung this up on the wall in lieu of my 80cm and put the TD110 into storage.
Anyhow, here are the pics.
