I've been looking for the parts in the picture for almost a year but there very hard to find in North America. Dish plate and pipe mount are not required to experiment with the dishes I already have. Thanks for the picture has to go to someone from this site. the picture shows the parts I'm looking for.

Yah I know I saw that but maybe someone else has the same or similar parts I could use in there no longer used pile....and wouldn't mind parting with them, I pay freight of course. Like always I'm away for the good deals. I'm not limited to just the FIBO the same parts could come from just about any broadband dish antenna. It's just the FIBO looked easier to modify for a larger dish, I've got a nice 1.5 fiberglass offset I'd like to experiment with.

I forgot i still had the old Fibo after a few failed attempts at selling it, mostly due to time wasters :mad:

Can you post a picture of the dish to LNB arm connection and what does it cost in Canadian funds with the shipping. Is the box of parts just for the polar mount to dish mount and what is the total shipping weight KG's is OK. Actually seems a shame to break it up.

probably best as freight cost is a real KILLER across the pond so to speak but thanks.


ANY body else got some old parts they no longer use or want like the picture in post 1, I believe it to be an adapter kit to convert a regular offset to work like a FIBO but am not positive on that.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

There was a Spanish dish (antenna) manufacturer that made one many years ago, but it wasn't a great success. A Gregorian dish will have a different main reflector to a standard offset to retain the correct signal geometry.

Channelhopper You'd know better than I would, in the picture in post 1 is this collection of parts an adapter kit or is it real parts from a 90 or 120 Fibo. I have a 1.5M fiberglass that was a data dish from a local gas station it didn't have the LNB arm but with the pictured kit and some scrap metal I should be able to find the focal point and make it usable.
