Hi this is my LNB and feed I’ll send measurements tomorrow
Did you have an idea of price I’ve been offered a 1.2 meter dish but it’s missing arms and feed and it’s 146 miles away plus as much as I’d like a big dish it’s too big for my garden biggest I can really do is a meter
Thanks

Looks like a feed horn for an offset Channel Master dish.

That feed you pictured in post 23 of this topic is not a match for a Precision prime focus dish.
As stated by @ozumo it looks like the feed for a Channel Master offset dish.

I have attached below a couple of pictures for types of feed that are used with Precision dishes.

If you plan to use the Channel Master feed with a Precision dish sourced via your latest dish request topic you might need to fabricate or purchase some type of feed clamp to get it on the dish.
Even then, it might not perform as well as a genuine matched feed?

Which was the reason the dish transaction did not progress 16 months ago (though losing the car in a Surrey field didn't help)

The CM offset feed will not work well on the Precision design reflector. The aperture is about half, giving similar performance to a Zone 1.

Unless he has sourced a Precision feed with C120 or WR42 interface in the meanwhile, he aint gonna get much out of any Precision 90cm dish offered unless he gets one that comes with the matching feed.
