Sold £46.89p, a bargain for someone looking for a C-Band dish, was it bought by a forum member, hands up !

Nicknamed "The Tin Dish" on the forum, the 2.4m Fortec Star performed reasonably well in C-Band based on observations from a few forum members, "aceb" and "s-band" spring to mind.
That looks like my old one. I guess the seller is using the stand for his new dish.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Potentially a cheap actuator in Shrewsbury, with what looks like a couple of Satellite Superstore how-to VHS.

Having a Sharp LNB probably means it's not been used for "years" - BTW, nothing at all against Sharp LNB's as I bought several a decade or so ago and they were very good, but it does tend to indicate that the system may not have been "put through its paces" for "some time"

OTOH, might be a very good buy, albeit with some work needed to get it fully up and running properly.

Did she looks mint,and a new lnb won't break the bank.

Wasn't thinking of replacement of the LNB - more likely the actuator.
