I've got an old white Sharp LNB (which is one of my old favourites before the Black Ultra came along) fixed to a 60cm dish but it's got a few moisture droplets on inside of the plastic feedhorn cover. It's been like that for several years and since the LNB holder had rusted solid I hadn't done anything with it. But the other day the DIY mount feel apart (it was made of wood but lasted 10 years!) so I thought this was a good time to take everything to bits and give the dish a good clean and free up the rusty bits.
The LNB still works but it can't be good for the inside to be constantly damp. I was wondering if I should drill some small holes in the front of the LNB cover to let some air in or would it make the situation worse when it rains? I've tried taking the plastic cover off but it seems pretty firmly fixed down.
Or should I just leave it as it is with moisture inside considering it still works?
