New addition to dish collection: Triax 2120 prime focus w. polar mount.
The little-brother of the 2140, but this time with what seemed to be original feed-horn.
Triax 2140 prime focus aluminium antenna w. polar mount
Was expecting some slight damage (sellers pics didn't give much away, but I sensed that this antenna might have seen some hard handling).
Picked the dish up today, and indeed it does show some bending damage to parts of the rim, and therefore also to the shape of the reflector.
May try to straighten it, but then again, may not depending on the performance.
Polar mount is identical to the 2140, but this one is more worn.
The powder coating is peeling, but luckily the mount is also galvanised, so most (but not all) rust is bolts and nuts.
What to use it for?
TBH, no firm idea right now. I have too many 120 cm dishes to make this one special, particularly now it's a bit hammered and bruised.
But something may come up... new PF/PM dish at the holiday cottage??
