Chaparral Monterrey 140

[roarrr]

I have a Monterey 140 for sale. It has not been in use for six years or so, but worked perfectly back then. I may be interested in a Freesat receiver, because here in Norway, it is impossible to buy one. I have a lot of stuff for the Chaparral tuners, from the 80`s, if someone should be interested. The Monterey comes with the original remote.

As per the rules in this section, you need to state a price

 

[roarrr]

Of course, sorry about that, I was thinking in the range of 200 pounds. I paid 1700 pounds for the receiver, when it was new. The price is just a suggestion, I am open for bids, or trade, as I wrote.

Can you post some pictures. Do you have the original packaging & manual ?

 

[roarrr]

Hi, I am not sure about the original manual, but I think I can get
one from Sweden, where I bought it. I have a lot of literature about
the Chaparral range, if You want, I can give You this, with the receiver
in case You buy it. I know I have a manual for the 40 model, but I will investigate more, if You are seriously interested.

Regards..Roar

I am interested in purchasing it but please post some pictures of your Monterey 140, need to look at general condition of it and we will take it from there.

 

[roarrr]

Now that is a real old timer, I'm amazed it has survived. I think can remember seeing reviews of that model in What Satellite

Hello!
i already have one chap 140
but no software for it,can you upload ,it to fileserver,then i can take a look on it!

this dvb kit,for chappral,is nearly imposible to get,i never haved any!

 

[BoSSpak]

does it have the digital dvb upgrade ? or is it analog only

does it have the digital dvb upgrade ? or is it analog only

It is analog only. I would guess this machine is most useful to control
a bigger system, because it has double motor controls. I used both, for elevation, and azimuth. It also has some sort of autofocus, it searches for the satellite, if the signal disappears, useful with unstable satellites.
I had 2,4 gHz--4 gHz-- and Quad band on my antenna. The dish was 3 metres, and the actuator was 24 inches. The elevation actuator was 16 inches. The Chaparral Monterrey is a collectors item, for the right guy.
I am interested in any suggestion.....

@ roarr

i will have to think about this and let you know in couple of days. i was looking for the one with the dvb upgrade as you know everything is digital nowadays. The only use you can put this receiver is to drive a satellite dish, other then that not much else.

Hi, I'm also interested but before I proceed can you please give me an idea on shipping costs to the UK as these were extremely heavy.

Thanks

Smurf

 

[roarrr]

Sure, I will check, and write reply soon.

Roar

 

[roarrr]

I have checked the price by post, it is 35£, but if someone buys, I will charge only 20£, the rest I will pay. This is including insurance.

[roarrr]

No, I am sorry I don`t have any accessories with the machine. I have a lot of literature though, and I will enclose all, to the buyer.
