Old Dish Specs sheet

Found an old Satellite magazine and scanned this. It's from 1991. List of dishes and specs, may help someone out. Merry Christmas.

thanks:

In addition to the valuable info in the table, I learned three other things:

- a list of old dish brands (well, 1991), many I'd never heard of
- perforated dishes were pretty rare even that recently
- there really was a 10' Paraclipse, after all -

These were called, "User Friendly Dishes". Are they Editor's Choice?
Wonder what the less-friendly dishes of the era, were? -

Heres the whole article

This goes with the chart I posted. Happy Reading

The magazine is "Satellite TV, the 1991 Buyers Guide"

.....Wonder what the less-friendly dishes of the era, were?....

My definition of user friendly would have been the "petalized" four-piece-bolt-togethers with the reflective surface installed at the factory. Some were shipped in "pieces" and were site assembled, including installing individual portions of the reflective surface.
