Can anyone Identify this dish. The photo is from about 100 yards with full zoom. It appears to be a one piece eight footer and extremely deep.

Wilson or Kaul Tronics made hydro-formed metal dishes. I am sure there were others. Either way. I'd grab it, if I could. I have some old STV magazines from the 1980's and the Wilson and Kaul-tronics dishes were made like that.
 
Check the back side, too.
Never know ... It might have an H-H mount . ;)

But regardless, I'd recommend adding it to your collection.
 
it to hard for me to tell , my old eyes and a not so close up picture :( but if its out in the open , make arrangments fast to get it ;) rustlers are rampant around here. I had to lock a few in the corral ;)
 
My vote goes to the Kual-tronics dish since RGK is only a few miles from the plant where the dish was made--Richland Center, WI. Nice dish, grab it or let me know and I'll get it.
 
I haven't talked to the owner yet. My main concerns are how much it will weigh and if it will fit in a U-haul. A secondary concern is that It might blow a hole in the ionosphere twice a year bouncing a solar wave back and forth :)
 
IF it's an 8' dish ... it won't be a heavy dish.
Take it off the mount if you have any trouble.
Two guys should have no difficulty walking 100' with it.

The mount by itself isn't bad for one guy to carry.
