Bargain Second-Hand Big Dishes For Sale

Why not keep one for C-Band and the other for Ku-Band?
Well done with the purchase, nice to see a member get into action and buy another decent dish.
Agreed..get that AZ/EL mount up on a pole on 40W C Band see what you get. Then you could motorise it.
 
i can see now why @Channel Hopper was surprised that my polar mount was so rusty - this AZ/EL mount doesnt have an fleck of rust on it. I standby what i said though, it has to be an original CM polar mount that i have, exact same as @nelson_b

Yes, that is what they should look like, even after a decade outdoors.

Coastal installations will take their toll, but nowhere near as bad as your one.
 
Channel Master 1.0m £65 in Welling south east London. Might be a 1224 motor (not a great photo) but the wording isn't clear if it's included or available at extra cost :confused:

Defo a 1224 and not included with the dish. Could be a real bargain for someone!

not sure yet, but nice to have in the arsenal.
 
he was running a 1m CM off it - man, overkill - it makes my SMR-128G running my 1.2 CM look like a toy.
 
yes, i realise that, my polar mount setup, isnt going anywhere soon.
i guess it depends on the extreme arcs too, the dish becomes A LOT heavier at the extreme ends of the ARC - no way could the 1224 cope on a 1.8m CM at 58w to 54e
 
The CM 1.8m is too heavy for the SMR 1224, the Laminas AS 1800 is still OK :)
I had AS1800 on the beefed up 1224 (Jumbo) but I found that the exposed location really didn't work with the dish. Any minor breeze and the dish would wobble around enough to lose signal. Would be OK in a sheltered location though

I had one of those. I spent weeks trying to dial the tuning in of the petals... Never again.
 
I think this one in Spalding has been up before.


might need new bearings
