Must be 1,4m

Once a saw one like this one in América.

[Lazarus]

Here it be

 

[superpascu2]

Thank you Lazarus!

I attach another dish not used in the comunity, we used to use it for astra 19,2 in analog system. Look at the lnb, 2 cables. Maybe for V&H? First time I have seen it.

With a bit of tender loving care, a new lnb and some replacement cabling there is no reason why that dish cant be bought back into use. Get some penetrating lubricant and give ALL the nuts & bolts a good squirt. After 20 years you can expect some of them to be seized solid so you may want to source a selection of stainless steel replacements

Whilst you are at it resurrect that sad old 60cm thats pointing at the ground behind the big one!

On the full sized pic the dish also has a very faded and badly applied BLUE SAT logo across the top edge and possibly a phone number above the GALAVISION logo

Google is your friend!

 

[superpascu2]

Yes, blue SAT was the company which intalled the dish here in Alicante.

I remember It was already old when the fix It. The is no lnb, the plastic is burnt by the sun

I doubt it! Most likely, it is only 1.2m. Without seeing its back, and knowing exact dimensions, it is hard to say the name. But, from what I see, and hear that it is made of plastic, I suggest it is Prodelin (Echostar) dish with offset angle of 22.7*. Nice find.

 

[superpascu2]

Yes, It is not aluminium. It is a kind of plastic

 

[Analoguesat]

You may find the lnb holder is very brittle after 20 hot summers spent baking in the sun so dont be too rough with it.

Yes, It is not aluminium. It is a kind of plastic

Fibreglass with an embedded mesh reflective surface.

Not so easy to find, but Tagra Sat is a registered mark of Tagra Coop which is Spanish registered, good old Google!
Apparently they make ( or sell ) everything from Satellite dishes to speakers and all manner of radio equipment.

Yes, crashed years ago but sure this was not made from them, maybe they imported.
It is 1,8m at least.

Can anyone upload the picture correctly as lazarus did with the other one.

Sorry about that

A closer look at the lnb clamp will tell the truth

Prodelin used a metal clamp for their dishes (22-24mm) plus their own feed for the Echostar systems (that were only 1m) so it is not one of those.

In reality an image of the back of the dish, with the mounting points and the ribs will determine the true ancestry.

 

[RimaNTSS]

so it is not one of those.

You might be right! However, from given picture it is hard to see enough details. Another picture from the back could be useful, and especially in case of plastic dish.... they have undoubtful pattern of the strength ribs. Prodelin 1.2m does not have any screws going through its face, and on this dish I do not see any screws ether. Also, side-feedarms connect to the dish from side, as it is done on 1.2m Prodelins. LNB-holder.... well, I do not see it on the picture at all
So, I still insist it is Prodelin!

 

[Channel Hopper]

The feed system is black though, so still unlikely as Prodelin was alloy/metallic.

The accurate dish parameters (horizontal and vertical ) woud help as well.
