Hi,

Can anyone identify and/or estimate the size of the dish in the link below?

It's on a French second hand sales site, (though they're new) and at 7 Euro's each, I'm intrigued. :confused:

Estimated size of 60/80cm from the jpeg.
 
It's prime focus and probabaly a central feed support arm.

I'd say its a Sweety (Arcon) clone.

Btw I still have a batch of deep prime focus 90cm units here with feed, but they are too fragile to post in singles. I used quite a number a few years back for Telecom 5W reception of French TV, and they are all still going strong.
 
Thanks to you both. I thought prime focus, as I noticed the hole in the centre of the dish. But if satman's right in estimating 60/80cm diameter, isn't that a little large for an Arcon sweety clone? Actually the next item for sale on that site is 4 Arcon Sweety lookalikes, at 12 Euro's each.

Anyway, my wild idea of picking up a dish face of over 1m for a song has gone out of the window!!
