Bargain Second-Hand Big Dishes For Sale

Ordered one too - only 2 remaining!

Not any more. I ordered (quite by chance I was in the area collecting something unconnected) and met with the seller.

Quite legit but make sure the elevation motor is always on compression with these actuators.

It will be interesting to hear if they can elevate a fully laden 1.8m CM offset.

I did have one elevating it in tension for a few years and it was fine until the eyelet snapped. The mechanicals were OK.

My 1.8m CM has been sold to a forum member so I won't be trying any time soon.

Yes, they are good motors but really for tracking the arc for a dish up to 1.2m, or the seller's trade of course.
 

same seller also has a boxed BSB dish for £30

& also a Ferguson BSB D-MAC receiver for £25

 
Gibertini OP125 Satellite Dish on Ebay - Open to offers

 
There may be on Offer several PML Dishes from 2.2m to 4.5m Dishes available, Maybe later this year or early in the New Year, the 3.7m & 4.5m are 1 piece reflectors, with Motors for Az & El and Pol, with controller. there is 2 others, on Polor Mounts, I don't know about the Controllers for these.

The 3.7 & 4.5m Will need a Crane/Hiab to lift them off, I think you will need a Large Box Van to take them away on Flat Bed Truck with a frame to put them at 45` El. Major Work involved, with the 4.5m PML its on a Temporary Foundation, this is a Large Square Steel Box section filled with either Water or Sand.

2 of the PML Dishes are in 4 pieces I have seen Plenty in 1/2, but Never in 4, one of them Followed U2 Around the world, doing a Video Link in the Early 90's, it used to have its own Flight Case that was lost years ago.

A variety of several different size PML Dishes from 1.2 to 3m all Fixed dishes apart from one I guess 1.8 or 2m dish. But that has been on the same satellite for 4 years.

There are GD?Vertex 3 x 3.7m Bat Wing Antennas Fixed and 2 x 2.4m Bat Wing again Fixed.

On Site H & S is quite Strict at this moment due to its a Fully operational Teleport. but closer to the closing date, until the demolition starts in earnest, Probably in the New Year, it might be more relaxed.

For The More Adventurous, There are 2 x Siemens 3.7m C Band Dishes also, 2 x 5.6m Andrew Dishes it is motorized at the moment but the Client will keep the Controllers and OD Motor Box. 5 x 7.6m Ku dishes. We expect these will be scrapped as there is no call for many of these now, and More are being Scrapped than Installed, but Hey if you know some one I am all ways willing to Talk about it, I have tried peddling to all my Contacts, with no Joy.

Please at this Point do NOT Bombard me with Questions, Until I get the Official go ahead with this. I will not Answer any Questions, from What I Saw all PML Dishes are Ku.

Best Regards

Les Eighteen.

Is that NEPs teleport in Media City? The angular shaped dishes remind me of it

A real shame, reflectors I could understand as demolition would be quicker, but feedhorns, ODUs, cable and actuators ?
 

i meant WTF - why not wall mount.

Since the tripod doesn't reach the top of the mast there is a chance high winds will move a satellite dish off beam.
