[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 5455, member: 175166"] It looks very much like the Concentric type you describe. And there's a lot of rust on it - although that's normal in this part of the country, where it rains a lot and there's always plenty of salt spray to corrode anything metallic. I've just had a look at the second dish. It looks almost new - no rust or corrosion and the anodised parts are still bright. The edges are, however, like the Concentric type you've just described and I wonder if it's worth going to the trouble of trying to make one good dish out of spare parts from two, especially if the model doesn't perform well. I think I might just revert to the dish which came with the motor - it's slightly smaller but is a rigid, solid metal type. It's much heavier, but the analogue performance wasn't at all bad. When I can afford it (ie when I can persuade my wife of the benefits of an upgrade) I'll go for a 1.2 metre Channel Master. Thanks for the advice, though. wolsty [/QUOTE]
