Can you post another page of that May 1993 magazine where is continuation of the article. .
Not a lot more to see Rima.

The actuator was not large enough for spanning more of the arc - SMW quickly brought out a modification for the polar mount to take a larger actuator. My supplier took in the original one and gave me a good discount on a 24" Arktivator with the necessary PM mods.

"fortunately" my trailer about 2000km away. I contacted 1.4m antenna seller, I go to look at antenna Saturday. Somebody already offered 40 eur for that dish. I do not think I would be ready to take it for more than 50-70eur. Of course, it much depending on the condition of the product. Let's see

What a day! :rolleyes:
Brought family Saturday's shopping,and, "accidentally" shop we went was very close to place where chap was selling SMW OA-1400. So, I've found there some kind of Klondike of equipment IMG_20150328_132047 (Large).jpg including Bang&Olufsen antenna. After "shopping" borrowed bigger car and went back to take some of the antennas (will not say how much did I pay to not let you be jalousies or think I am stupid or lucky :-rofl2 or whatever, I simply have them now) . I've got 2 x SMW OA-1400 , 2 x SMW OA-1600 IMG_20150328_171821 (Large).jpg and also tiny 1m Echostar IMG_20150328_183212 (Large).jpg without any feedarms and mount. Man gave me another polar-mount IMG_20150328_181405 (Large).jpg which can be adjusted to Echostar. Seems that Echostar was newer used, at least I did not find any signs of it being installed. Broght all dishes to my friend's house IMG_20150328_172328 (Large).jpg , removed all metal parts IMG_20150328_174801 (Large).jpg and stored in his garage. Of course, those mirrors are old, some metal is rusted or missed. What can I say..... i think they are still beautiful. Problem is that wive got suspicious as she spotted van full of antennas inside, but I made some sweet lies saying that antennas belonging to friend of mine and I am just helping him out :rolleyes: I do not think she believed o_O

There is one nice toroidal dish for sale, at least 4 times less money than the new one. Unfortunately location is over the pond.

Well, Sweden is a fairly big place. This dish is in Nyköping, which is 6,5 hours drive from me (and I can almost see Sweden from the top of my roof).
Maybe someone in Stockholm?
