1.5m IRTE PF, Octagon OSLO external Ref., TBS6983,
Various L, S, C, X & Ka bits. 1.2m S/X/Ku/Ka Prodelin on Az-El (being refurbished)

Standard smaller sizes were 1.2 & 1.5m. The fixings in the feed arms tend to corrode in place. Out of 6 feed arm ends I had to drill & re-tap 3. Be careful when removing the arms as it is easy to damage the dish by rotating the angled spacer. The best way I found to remove the dish face from the back plate, without damage, was to hold the screw heads with mole grips and shear the bolts by over torquing them. As long as it's only the turned down edge that's dented, it should be ok. Well worth saving. They sell for £50-100 in UK depending on location etc. Data here: Just Sharing This - IRTE Dish SpecificationsCame across a dish today that could be up for sale soon, dish is an IRTE 1.4 ish ( didn´t have a tape in my pocket after running across 3 roofs )
Polar mount got my attention, any thoughts about it´s worth? Client wants 1.3 Famaval as back-up to IPTV system. Actuator is a very old, propably non functional Echostar.
Dish is well bent round the edges, but seems sound doing quick check with S1 meter.
