Well, after months of searching eBay and Gumtree, speaking to stores on the continent and being horrified at the shipping costs, I have finally found a replacement for my Gibby 85cm.
It’s a 1m Orbital, pretty sure it’s Alu as it’s lighter than the Gibby.
The guy chucked in a stab motor which won’t move and a galvanised wall bracket. That stab looks ancient and can’t hear the motor going so think it’s dead.
The dish is in excellent condition but unfortunately, the shop that sold it in Birmingham decided to brand it and I really didn’t like it. I gave the sticker a blast with a hair dryer and pealed it off but it’s pulled the paint in one spot and left a horrible sticky residue. Not sure if the residue would impact the signal?
What’s the best way of buffing it up so it doesn’t look such a mess? I have read up on painting them and no metallic can be used.
Is there a spray or paint that I can use that is ideal for the job?
And also, how do I get this sticky off without taking the paint with it.
