Price dropped... (still not enough)
Corydon...
That is the exact same dish I have (and same place I live!). The ribs get bent very easily since there is no crossbeams all the way out 10'. I'd avoid that one IMHO.

Put the remains of my 10' orbitron on craigslist. This project has been hell because the dish doesn't fit in the yard. Anybody wants the dead carcass, go for it. Lost my money, now it's somebody else's turn.
What for... TV, I have a c/ku lnbf to use already.
Price... depends. Don't want to go over $1k. I have heard fortec 2.4m and geosatpro 2.4m bounced around the forum but those dishes appear to be long discontinued.
I'd be open to a used dish too if somebody is willing to ship it. (nobody...
Wondering if anybody knows! (My 3.0m mesh dish doesn't fit!)
Only one I can find is the WSI 2.4m dish ~$500 shipped.
Anybody have reviews of this dish or a better alternative? Every other product I've heard about seems to be gone. :(
I've been trying to come up with a design for a non-penetrating mount for my 10' C-band dish. I have been able to find most of the parts I would need at the local hardware store except for the main mounting post.
I need a 3.5" diameter steel post that is 6' tall. Anybody know where I can get...
Pretty sure this was advertised for free 2 weekends ago (by somebody else) when I tried to get it, missed it by an hour (got a 10' the same day free from somebody else). The description 2 weeks ago matches the dish pictured exactly. :popcorn</conspiracy theory>
shot some pics, be warned this is ugly... the entire dish is in pieces as I disassembled it. The mounting post is 3.5" x 14 feet steel (100+ lbs), you can see the rotator ring and other pieces. Everything you see needs replacement or lots of work.
I'm really interested in C-band stuff at this point. There is a few international channels I'd like to record shows. I am going to be out of town for 2 weeks before I can even start cleaning the dish parts up.
Eventually I'd like to see if Ku band is a possibility (the mesh would have to be...
thanks for the welcome! Dish needs some rework so I can easily add $150 in paint & new bolts. (old stuff is rusted up and sheared several bolts during disassembly)
So receiver, vbox, and a new lnb... thinking that might be the case.
Hoping I could get some advice as I just got my first dish (sitting in pieces right now). Maybe you could look at this list and tell me what else I need to get C-band FTA working and what parts of this setup are old/useless...
Dish is an Astra 10' center focus mesh dish with a polar mount. I...
