8 foot dish hunting

[Chewie]

Thanks for the information FAT AIR, this sure helps, I drove Around my neighborhood and found this dish, not sure what this is could not get that close to it , maybe some of the members here can ID this dish is about 7.5 to 8 ft dish, I was told is been up there for about 20 to 30 years and is not in use.
Any opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks In advance

Weingard? Anybody who has one will recognize and tell you more.
Whenever I've seen 'em, they often still look new after 20 years of service.

Comes with a nice long pole, as well.
What are they asking for it?
Free would be nice, at which point, I'd be figuring how to take it down.
(we have ideas in that, too!)

Looks gorgeous, doesn't it? I'm thinking Winegard as well.

Winegard all the way. The color, and the button-hook give it away... One of the BEST dishes ever made! Get that puppy NOW!

I'll bet that is a ten footer too. Very deep dish. .278 F/D. I really like mine

It's a keeper.(once you get it)

I recommend you shave off that beard and get a haircut. That fuzzy look you're sporting might scare the owners to the point where they won't open the door.

Thanks Gents,
I will get more info tomorrow, I don't think is a 10 ft dish, it did not look like a 10 footer, but it look bigger than 6 foot.
I read somewhere Winegard made 6.0, 7.6, 10.0 12.0 ft dishes, i hope is a 7.6 ft and free.
I will make sure I shave and get a haircut before I go there.
Yes, I will take any ideas how to bring this dish down.
Thanks again gents
Regards.

Looks like a removal job for the city beautification project - putting young people to work, cleaning up the community ....,.. ;<}

Lizard Thoughts

brand: Winegard
model: Pinnacle
size: 8 or 10 feet
construction: perforated panels (aluminum?)
feed mount: either the button hook or 4-leg design (?)
bands: C-band of course, & decent on Ku, too.

Another lesser model had mesh panels.

I'm no expert on these dishes so double check, but the above is to the best of my recollection.
For a BUD, I'd rate as "A" or "A-".
Or to put it another way, you'll be hard pressed to find better.
Free or $50 would be best, $100 wouldn't be out of the question, depending on the deal.
(other items, help getting it down, etc)
