FOR SALE Complete C/Ku Band System for sale, getting out of the hobby

[rjp869]

Hi Everyone, I've been in the C/Ku band hobby for 20+ years, but my interest over the past few years has waned to the point where I've decided to part with all of my equipment...and there's plenty of it! I am selling this as a whole lot, not selling individual parts & pieces. Also you will need to pick this up in Three Oaks, Michigan (located in the far southwest corner of the state right by the IN/MI state line, a few miles east of Lake Michigan).

Here goes:
7.5' Winegard (I think) C/Ku dish in very good shape with PM93 C/Ku feedhorn
Von Weise 24" actuator - works well
Toshiba TRX-1500 receiver/dish mover - tested/works (this was the one I was using up until a few weeks ago to move the dish)
Toshiba TRX-1800 receiver/dish mover - powers up when plugged in & seems to work when various buttons are pressed
Toshiba TRX-1520 receiver/dish mover - same as the TRX-1800
General Instrument Innovation 650i receiver - same as the TRX-1800
Nextwave NCC500 receiver - brand new in box
Motorola 4DTV receiver - plugged in, something popped, now it won't turn on (possibly dry capacitor on the power supply)
General Instrument Videocipher II - powers on
Satworks ST3618 DVB receiver - powers on
Satcruiser DSR-401P - dead
Box of assorted C and Ku LNB's (some new), LNB protection kits, remotes for some of the receivers, V/H switch, DiSEqC switch, RF converters, polarity servo motors (1 new, 1 used), extra boot for the dish mover (new), some manuals, some coaxial cables and around 125 feet +/- of what used to be "satellite dish ribbon cable", comprised of C & Ku antenna coaxial cables, the actuator control cable & the servo motor control cable...these were separated into individual cables to make them easier to pull thru conduit. Cables are all in good usable condition.

As I said above, this is being offered as one whole lot, so you'll need to take it all. And FYI...you don't need to take the dish apart to haul it...it fits nicely in the back of a short bed full size pickup (when I first bought it, that's how I hauled it). Dish is currently mounted to a steel pole, two bolts and the whole assembly comes right off.

Please make me a fair offer and it's all yours! Again, this will need to be picked up, no shipping or delivery offered.

Thank you & have a blessed day!
Bob Prim

No, it's hard to even find anybody that will recycle them. The receivers and Videociphers are all worthless now in our digital world, with the possible exception of having to use one as a dish positioner, IF you don't have a Vbox or the like.

The dish and positioner motor is just the bare minimum size for C-band that could work for somebody, and is a Winegard, which is a good dish, so that's worth at least $20, which is what I paid for my 7.5' SAMI dish in 2018. The spare parts is maybe worth something to the right person.
