A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I could have sworn it was an early Gibertini, but the riveting of the reflector suggest it is another design.

An offset dish of about 1 - 1.1m in height , main characteristics are:

the back support is held on with four 13mm bolts,
the elevation adjustment is cleverly designed to allow offering of the dish to the backplate whilst up a ladder with just the lower two bolts on a hook arrangement,
The feedarm is c-shaped, held with four 6mm bolts with 10mm heads, and it has decreasing weight saving holes which are visible from underneath,
the feed support is adaptable all the way from 60mm down to 20mm with plastic spacers
and a light grey paintwork on all surfaces.

Any idea ?

I'll try to get a picture or two tomorrow.

No, the design is probably 20 years old, if not 25.

I used to use the slightly smaller dishes with similar face hanging arrangement, Hirschmann from memory.
