Here is some info for some folks that may have a lot of junk laying around.
The dish is the 40 x 30 crimestar and the Lnbs are 1 standard linear and the following-
dish net fss linear with a dish net dbs nose cone with dielectric plate removed from cone.
the dish net lnbs came from a old superdish.
Credit for this odd but successful idea goes to ice and anole for pointing out these parts all interchange. LOL!! otherwise i would have never tried it!!
70 q on 101 and 97 is 70+.
That dish lnb isnt the easiest to work with,touchy, but with patience, can be done.
I was having a good weekend. :D

That might have been Iceberg.
I've never gotten my hands on one of those tiny feeds.
Did they call them pencil feedhorns?
edit: or was it lipstick feeds...?
Probably terrible gain!
Beautiful job, though! - :up

If you wanted both to be bandstacked, you could use two FSS DishNet LNBs.
The feed for the weaker of the two signals could be the 105° feedhorn.
But, as Pendragon pointed out, a better substitute is a more traditional size feed.
Here's some reading material... at least look at the pictures for encouragement:

Tech#344 builds his own feedhorns for DishNet 105° LNBs:
