I've just bought this Channel Master 90cm dish for a tenner.
Bargain Second-Hand Big Dishes For Sale
It is in good condition apart from the rusty mounting plate which will easily clean up. It came with a working "Planet Type" H-H motor. Any one heard of them?
I want the dish to replace a cheap 80cm solid metal dish which I currently drive with a fairly new Alsat diseqc motor.
The question is, do I continue with the old H-H motor or try to fit the CM90 to my existing diseqc motor?
Using the old H-H motor will require installing some 4-core cable and using a separate positioner. Fortunately, I do have an old Pace MSP200 lying about.
Using the existing diseqc motor would be a lot more convenient but I would have to change the mount to an az/el pole type (not az/el cap type) and I believe these are no longer made. Does any one have one going cheap?
What is the best solution?
Would it be possible to use the mount off the cheapo 80cm dish and somehow bolt that onto the mounting plate on the CM90?
Any other suggestions?
TIA
