Does anybody have info on this dish?

[fireball517]

I'm about to be negotiating with the landlord and see if he wants to part with this at one of his rental properties. I think this is 1.2m it looks a bit bigger than mine. I haven't completely got to inspect it yet either.

It is Channel Master antenna (Raven, Andrews and some other names depending on the year of made). This one could also be 1m. Show picture from back then there will no doubts about size.

That's PROBABLY a 1m Primestar dish. I have four of them. The LNB gives it away. Its a keeper, grab it. Hard to motorize, but it can be done with enough backyard engineering or a big enough motor. Or both.

Yes, Primestar is another name of Channel Master antenna. Even names are different but mould is always same.

Got 2 of them nice dishes.

I would agree, it's a great dish. I have one also.

Acquired it. The ring around the backside of the dish is cracked though, how much will this affect it?

It already affected it. But if you meant performance than it will be OK, as the working area stays intact.

Okay, I was thinking that. Just wanted to make sure, thank you.

If you don't like the looks from the broken out part, you can fix it with plain old Bondo, and/or use a fiberglass repair kit with a bit of fiberglass mesh, and spray paint the whole dish with a FLAT paint afterwards.

I am definitely going to paint and repair it. Its been scrubbed a little bit. Looking much better already. Gonna clean the arms some next.

So what are the measurements then? Show some picture from antenna's back, if possible.

Here's this for the time being.
