Actually the vertical dimension of the reflector is very close to 2 metres in lengthm (197.2 cms)
I know, and you know that I know :) This antenna will never work for more than 1,8m.
That is old trick of some users and even shops to present their stuff bigger than it really is.
If mirror of Fibo120 has vertical dimension almost 140cm, nobody is allowed to call it Gregorian 140 :-rofl2, however I've seen some add that seller was trying to sell Gregorian 140 and then announced that his wife run by car over it. In reality, most likely, he sold it out of e-bay and did not will to be charged by e-bay.

Is anyone else having issues with Ebay search results at the moment? I've got a few saved searches on terms like 1.8 and 2.4m etc within the satellite section but for the last week or so I've been getting emails saying there's 3000 new entries each day! They are all items that include the search terms but also any variation of it and not necessarily in the satellite section. Tried resaving them but no joy.

As an example today I've had this in the 1.8 seach (along with 3538 others).

Yeah, I had that too recently. Apparently there were over 1000 Jaeger 1224 motors on there :)

Hi Gents. Thanks for posting the links for me.

Pallet shipping to mainland UK is roughly between £45-£55.

If you've got any questions, you can ask me on here or ebay.

Got a nice 2.4m motorised mesh C-Band dish and an 80cm Ku band dish to play with. Unfortunately haven't had any time to play with them yet.

I've got plenty of pictures to upload of some massive uplink dishes where I've been working. There's some of the control rooms and all sorts of different aspects of broadcast inc. radio stations, tv sudios, etc.

Anyhow thanks again everyone.
Happy bidding :D

Something rare... An unused cm polar mount for 90-100-120. Looks to be in great condition. Strange commeng about replacing the actuatoe arm.
Also have never seen that colour before.
Nevertheless...

I think that was the original colour of these before they all rusted away! While it's a decent item, there are plenty of second hand ones that can be reconditioned to a better-than-new standard.

Can't make sense of his text as he's completely forgotten the use of punctuation.
