Looking at Likvid's new 55cm dish pics, I thought the feed horn looked in a different position to mine. :confused:

After some confering with him, it appears that there is a difference. :-DOH!

It would be interesting to find out why there is a difference and when it occured. :D

If members with Fibo 55cm dishes could measure the centres of the fixing holes on the arm, dish to Feedhorn, and feedhorn to sub-reflector, and post here with perhaps serial no. or approx age of dish if poss. it might shed some light, or perhaps confusion. :-worship

My distances are 246mm and 134mm ser.no. 11934

Likvid's are 230mm and 150mm ser.no. 00004

:-thumb1

PS I wonder if there are similar changes on the other sizes. :confused:
 
Its then Chinese again I'll bet, perhaps one of you has a reproduction model

I told Likvid that his must have been a prototype. :-rofl2

I have asked my German friend about this and he will check his 55cm.
 
Not got too many replies to my search for the truth yet then :-deadhorse

Probably not that many 55cm about mate;)
 
I'll check mine next time I'm up the ladder and let you know - I do know that mine has no label on the back so no serial no. or date of manufacture.

It would be nice of you if you could measure it.;)
 
Forgot my friend went on vacation to Mexico, have to wait til he gets back or maybe "stu" here can make some measurements for us?
 
Mine measures up as 230mm and 150mm like "Likvid"s ;)

Thanks Stu, when I get mine mounted I will probably slot the mounting holes and have a play, I'm a bit puzzled as to why they changed it, have checked with Likvid and sub-reflector seems to be the same :confused:
