I found a Solid Dish!!!

One man's garbage is another man's gold.

Yes thats true. I'm not so sure of paying him 300$$ for it. I guess I could go and buy a brand new one and pay around 2000.$$ for it. But that would suck since there arew so many to get for free! Sure would like to get one where the guy didn't think it was still Solid Gold! And find oput its nothing but a pile of rust!

Thanks,
Tom

I don't think your fiberglass dish is junk, but I wouldn't pay $300 for it, either.
Problem is, a lot of these owners remember the thousands of dollars they cost new.
Well, they're not new now... many want to get rid of 'em.
And they have to pay to have someone take down the dishes and haul 'em away.
So, -free- sounds like a very attractive price.
Then, you haul it home and regret later if you got a dog. -
The mounts and LNBs are often worth the effort, if you are building up a supply like Linuxman is.
I'm waiting for him to open The Satellite Shop, any day now.

Hey Thomas,
You were discussing driving to St. Louis to get a dish or two..
In my old stomping ground in East Arkansas (around the Forrest City area), I've seen dozens of dishes scattered here and there.
I've already got two of my own and just haven't the time to go around and check on all the ones I could get for just hauling them away.
Here in and around Hernando, I've seen several that I could probably pick up.
I can just about guarantee that if you drive through rural Georgia and Alabama that you'd find more than enough to keep you busy...
Maybe take a day trip one weekend with your new truck! Just a thought.
