In the words of Churchill, " Oh Yes!"

Took 2 days of being soaked in Coke to free up the adjuster :eek:

Plus gas and duck oil didn't even touch it, Marvelous stuff Coca Cola is :-righton

The whole dish bar one new nut and bolt and the lnb is totally original as it was first installed 18 years ago :D

I see your 18 year old, and raise you 20 ;)
I'm not certain when it was fitted, but do know it was up before I moved abroad for a while in early 1990.
The dish spent the last 16-17 years ish, buried in my parents garage.
It is fitted with a quad lnb to feed my motorised system, and my daughters sky box.
It took a fair bit of duck oil to get the bolts free !


Nice to see she's still going. I remember installing those around that time :)

It was the first dish I ever installed myself. At the time, I stupidly thought it would work inside the room :) It made it much easier when I hung it out of the window :-rofl2

My 35cm worked perfectly sat on a dining room chair looking through the patio windows, signal was booming in. I regret disposing of it now

My BSB minidish in the 2nd pic (zip-tied on LN:cool: was sat in the middle of my living room floor (at the time), a good 7 or 8 feet from the window, pointed at Hispasat and picked up Cuatro (before it vanished :( ) nicely, well, it was sparklie-ridden, but still worked... :D
