Corotor III - Anyone seen one of these?

A little math with the F/D scale, some shims, and you could make your Corotor II into the "new" Corotor III. Found ad here: Gensh Satelliten - Corotor III C+KU Band, Polarotor LNBCC003

say what?

Ya should've saved that one for April 1st! -

I don't know which I like most:
- C-band port pointing forward (toward the dish) !
- scalar pushed back to hell 'n gone !
- the price -

The kids must have put it together for the picture! Or maybe they read the instructions bass-ackwards..

I think they read the instructions bass-ackwards. You can see the f/D scale way in front of the scaler and the Cband elbow is even facing the wrong way.

...read the instructions bass-ackwards....

It reminds me of a cartoon in Playboy about a hundred years ago. Airplane workers were all standing around a half finished WWII era German fighter plane with its nose angled off on an awkward and obviously not meant to be 45 degree angle. In the background was another worker trying to straighten out a blueprint with a corner folded over. The caption read, "They were afraid to ask."

I believe this thing assembled its self in the box, and everyone thought it should be that way.
