Hmm, the shape of the body suggests that it's an older type of the Ku band LNB - not sure why it has scalar rings though... maybe a C band one?

A generic one I'd wager would originally have been in khaki green and had a C120 flange that has been changed to a prime focus scalar feed.
Not worth hanging onto, unless you still have the dish, in which case I would keep the rings.

Hello
cambridge lnb .
i think it was made in the UK.
it was not universal so it had one lo at 10 ghz.
looks like 1990 vintage.
back in those days the sky analog boxes needed a extender to extend the lower end of the lnb.
noise fugure was arround .9 or .8 in those days.
not worth using at all.

The one design it is not is Cambridge, who had their own castings and PCB manufacture.
Badged LNBs similar to that posted are the Amstrad SLB-1, and the Grundig AEN1s. I would hazard a guess these came from a Japan factory by the containerload in the early 90s'

Thank You for help,Guys
My first LNC it s Gardiner NF-0,7 dB manufactured in the 1992.it was expensive,but very good.
One more question about,Swedish Microwave are good,i m talking about old analogic not digital LNC.

They were reliable from memory, but the noise figures were not as good as some other manufacturers, though this was probably down to cheating on the figures, which almost all badging companies did)

I ask about SW becose i want to know for my cooling experiment,what LNC brand available here perform
under -50C degree.
I think,in the nordic countries LNC must work on that temperature and maybee below,so will by no problem for LO to keep the frecvency stabile on that negative temperature.
Cheep Chinese stuff shut down below -35C.
