Good afternoon all, hope this is in the right section, if not, appologies admin, please feel free to move.
Info first, question later.
I have just accquired what (After a little Googling) I believe to be a Channel Master satellite dish.
On the rear embossed into what appeares to be the plastic dish material are the words,
1.2 Meter / Part No. 3040646 / Mold No. 1.2M-1 / Made in the USA
The dish came with a STAB Rotor Sat HH 120 motor attached and a Triax TSI40U1 universal single 40mm 0.6db LNB
This equipment was lying around in the rear yard of the large local pub and was up until not that long ago part of the system that was installed in the pub.
For whatever reason the dish has been swapped for a different smaller fixed dish using the original pole mount.
I can only assume that whoever installed the new dish simply left this one lying around in the rear yard of the pub once he had taken it down.
I asked the manager / landlord if he was going to do anything with the dish and he told me that if I wanted it then I was welcome to take it.
Question.
I was curious as to if this equipment was of any value and if so, about how much ?
also, I do have a fairly large rear garden that has a reasonably unrestricted view of the skies, as I have a system that with a little fiddling, I could connect the dish up to, I was wondering if it might be worth while doing so and having a little play around.
At present my system has a 1mt wall mounted motorised Gibertini, in your considered opinion, would it be worthwhile giving the floor mounted 1.2 mt dish a shot or would it not be worth the messing.
Also, as the dish appears to be made of plastic and has become a little tatty looking, can I assume that it would be ok to give it a quick blast with the jet washer ?.
Any help / advice / comments would be much appreciated,
Regards,
The Soulman.
