Identify My Dish

[steviebrosnan]

Hi All Hope i am posting my first post in the right place on here.

I got a 3.6 Meter Mesh Dish with 18 Arms and 18 sheets of Mesh.

Depth is 60 cm and F/D is 0.38.

I failed to find any info on this dish. Maybe someone on here might reconise it ?
It had a C-Band LNB and its cleaned up now like new. Photos attached.
Thanks Steve West London

My bet would be Orbitron SX-12.

Hi Satfaca, Thank you for a reply, I thought that as well, But My plate in the middle is solid and I dont have any 2nd or third Support rings on the ribs, Only the outer Ring. Its first time I seen something like this, And I have seen a lot of Dishes in my life,

Yes, Similar but different, The Orbitron was closest i could Find. Much on the same set up but I have 18 Ribs / Arms.

Much older than Orbitron, a Hero.

I spent weeks trying the internet for something that could help me. Orbitrons, Paraclipses, TEK2000 and others. And I dont believe its homemade. Its Factory Built. And a South African Guy had it prior to me

Note that there have been "older" Orbitron versions before SX ... like C10, the predecesor of SX10, could have been with 12" likewise.
The center/base plate is definitely Orbitron.
