This has come up for sale on the local loot equivalent.
I looks like a T90, but the version I have has 3x2 screws attaching the reflector to the mount.
This one seems to have only 2x2...
This makes it look like a T55, but some scrutiny of the pictures indicates that the dish is too large to be a T55.

So - was there ever several versions of the T90, specifically one with smaller bracketry in the back, requiring only 2x2 screws?

Unfortunately, seller has not posted pictures of the rear of the dish.
Just makes me curious...
 
The 2x2 screw bracket T-90 is the original one, and indeed is very similar to the bracket of the T-55.
But there were complaints, that due to the heavy weight, it was very hard to fine-tune the elevation.
(I had that early T-90, and used some bolts & nuts to overcome that, it's hard to explain with words).
So then came the "improved" version with 3x2 screws, and a big fat adjustment bolt for elevation.

I have that version, still mounted in the shed. I don't like the two upper bolts slightly pulling the dish.
As if the bracket don't exactly fit the dish shape. But maybe I worry too much...

Anyway, both versions are "legit" wavefrontier, wavefield (or whatever re-brand).

Excellent stuff!
Just the information I was hoping for - what else to expect from this high quality forum!
Thank you.
