[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 736151, member: 325666"] Well friends ... After standing almost 20 years My 1.8 prime focus dish has come crashing down .. A sizable gust of wind has snapped what was obviously a weakened and rusted pole at ground level .. The 4 inch diameter pole which was quite thick had rusted through ...where it enters the ground and the wind pushed the dish backwards and snapped it off.. I'm not sure if damage has been done to the dish itself ...but it may have survived as it fell backwards into a corner between the garden wall and the back wall of the house .. I certainly can't move it as its too heavy ..so will have to be dissasembled piece by piece .. If the dish and polar mount aren't damaged ..I suspect a new pole will have to be sunk into the ground but where to get a new 4 inch diameter pole a 16th inch + thick ...and at least 8 foot long .. My baby is broken ...and so is my heart .. VS [/QUOTE]
