Hi that’s great yes I’d like this dish and mount
I wouldn’t worry about refurb I’d be happy to do it anyway
Only thing I need to know is does it have a feed and lnb not looking for anything special just something to get me started
Plus you’ll have to let me know what you want for it please
Chris,
I have the original Precision Ku-Band feed somewhere and the original feed support arms for the dish.
The feed suppport arms are in the shed pictured above with the dish and I think the Ku-Band feed is in the loft but I will need to locate it.
The only issue that I can see is the price, I have the polar mount advertised on the forum for £350 without a ground stand or dish.
A link to the polar mount "For Sale" topic is pasted below.
I have for sale a Precision polar mount. It is the triangular frame version with galvanised finish and in very good working order. It is the polar mount that is described in post 19 of the topic linked to below. Precision 2.0 metre Refurb (Barn & Bramble Rescue) The polar mount is capable of...

If you add on the dish with feed supports arms, Ku-Band feed and an Invacom C120 flange LNB I think I would be looking at a price around £450.
Even then, you are still without a ground stand or wall mount.
My asking price for the Precision setup is high due to the polar mount, they are scarce nowadays and the one I have for sale is in very good condition.
To be honest, the asking price I would be hoping to achieve is quite a bit higher than you could pay for a brand new alternative starter system to get you going.
Some of the members on the forum are doing very well with smaller offset focus dishes on DiSEqC mounts that would cost a lot less new than the Precision setup I could supply.
My recommendation would be to consider an offset focus dish, it opens up a huge range of decent dishes and mounts at greatly reduced prices.
Second hand channel master 1.2m dishes are popping up quite regularly on eBay, Facebook and Gumtree, sometimes with a polar mount and they are a good dish.
What I propose we do is that I complete a few small refurb jobs on the dish, set it up and measure some signal levels from a few satellites.
If in the meanwhile you source a setup elsewhere all well and good and you will probably have made a decent cost saving compared to the Precision setup.
I will not sell the equipment to anyone else, you can have first refusal on it.
