bargain second hand big dishes for sale

[PaulR]

Think that actuator arm means the bit between the motor arm and the dish.

Agree. But how would that be flimsy?
Both mine are 4 mm steel, and probably the thickest part of the whole mount!

Squinting at the picture, it seems that the back end part of the middle Part of the Mount (where the actuator ball joint bracket would attach) is slightly bent. Wonder how that is done - it's Again as thick steel as the arm.

[and why does this editor insist on auto-capitalising "Part" and "Mount"?]

Discovered one local second-hand stuff site kapaza.be
There is CM120 for sale http://www.kapaza.be/fr/accessoires-satellites/grote-draaibare-schotelantenne-120cm-87885233.htm
100 EUR maybe is too much, but 50 would be OK.

The polar mount looks good. May not even need refurb'ing. Actuator may even still work (but I'd buy a new one anyway).
Dish face just needs as clean-up. And all bolts need replacing with INOX, of course.
EUR 70 would be ok.
I am going to Amsterdam/Eindhoven next week. But don't think the CM120 will fit at hand luggage...

These should not be categorised as dishes, they are garden ornaments, their functionality as a satellite dish is dubious.

same

 

[samoloko]

If It Is Tx / Rx antenna they are not same
channel master 1.2 only Rx got better gain than channel master 1.2 Tx / Rx with 0.3 dB If I remember correct

 

[Captain Jack]

It does look like a different dish ... The arms are different and the rim around the dish is also different.

Sellers should be forced to admit in the description that they are made from toilet paper.

On practice it is almost impossible to prove. And, BTW, result also can be completely opposite. Size of both antennas is same, so, with proper LNB performance of system will also be same
