First one Echostar (Prodelin OEM) - polarmount. Good condition. Possibly worth 100 EUR.
Second one Prodelin (1130 or so) with uknown polarmount (not seen before). A bit pricey.
Thrid CM120, with original polar mount. Very pricey.
Let them hang around - after a while, they may become more agreeable.

I phoned first one today and offered 50, he was not agree to go less than 120. I've said good-by and left my phone number in case he is ready to give it away for 50-60.
Sent an e-mail to second one and offered 40, no reply.
Third one.... I even do not like to contact him- wants too much.

Never mind the third one. You have one of those already.
The first and second one probably the most interesting to include in your plastic dish test. Although I think you wil get identical results off the two dishes - after all they're both essentially Prodelins....

This went for £104 pounds Bargain for someone! i seriously considered this one (i've got th go ahead from the boss for a 1.8m dish since one of her programs on mbc was interupted by a cloud burst) i even measured the car to take the 2 halfs inside - just about. I decided against. i would always of wondered what a channel master was like? so thats what i'm going to get when one comes at the right price for me.

Bit pricey for me at the moment, its early days yet! half the fun is looking, and going to try and get one at a cheaper price with maybe some refurbing to do ( may change my mind when i get desperate if i cant find one);)

Seller has jacked up the price from £450 to £550, must have read this forum and found out I sold one for £650. It is still a mega bargain at £550 especially including that polar head.

Really... I thought £450 was pushing it already. Regretting not getting that 1.8m that was for sale last year in north London.

The 1.8m channel master dishes have high residual values at the moment, I sold one through this forum a month ago for £650. The seller on eBay is actually selling it very cheap, especially considering it comes with the very rare polar head.

The price of the 1.8m channel masters in the UK has increased due to demand from the SiS code men, they love this type of dish for their feeds.

That was Echostar dish for sale on second hand market. Seller was selling it as 100cm dish. I was curious whether it is really so small. I simply mistrusted and, after consultations with my good friend and adviser @Trust1 (he also got same suspicions), my curiosity took over my healthy sense and I decided to go and check. We can not fully believe people! Seller was tricking- wanted to sell 121cm dish as 100cm! So, I bargained little bit and brought it home. Actually I was looking for Echostar 120. Seems that this will be my first dish where I will not change galvanized crews to INOX, simply cuz that will be hard to find such a screws. But, because of those screws this dish has no holes in the mirror, which is good (I think)
It has polar mount but no actuator. 1 quad LNB is added to set.
Will measure it carefully over the weekend, calculate parameters and think about LNB's aimpoint.

Why do not make one? Or wait till I make one for my dish and send you old holder. But that can happen not so soon.

Thats a 23 mm lnb holder , for that you need this aiming adapter .

So you finally got the Echostar, Rimant, eh? B-)
You now have a full complement of 120 dishes (save a real-brand Prodelin); you should be able to carry out your measurements now...
Nevertheless, this dish works well - it performs fairly simliarly to a CM120 (which you of course also have in Polar mount version).
Neither of us has the original feed-horn (but of course that's probably a matter of days before it turns up locally on whatever the E-bay flavour is at your end).
But the dish works really well with the Inverto BUx, so you should have no trouble testing.

Congratulations on a good find!

(But whatever happened to the "no more dishes needs to be purchased"???)
