What to do w/incompatible Dish for a motor

[Cband55]

The problem with the dish is the back it does not hook up correctly with the Pansat Motor

Do I have to get a new compatible dish or is the back of the dish for sale

pictures speak a thousand words

we can only guess what you have and want
do you have a dish model ?

but with a picture i'm sure you will get a dozen responses on how to adapt it up to your motor
thanks

with a name of Cband55, I can guess itis a C band dish, too heavy for a motor, Need an actuator or "jack", although I have heard of some people using a motor. But this is the FTA area not the C Band forum so... But give us some more information, and be best with pictures and we will all chime in to help.

...... imposible to hookup to a motor

That's blasphemy round these here parts, pardner. There's some guys around here that could hitch a trash can lid to a ceiling fan motor and make it work.

Post some pics if possible!

I have an "incompatible" Alphastar dish. I managed to get some mending plates from my local hardware store and was able to get it going.

See this old thread - I posted pictures there of how I modified the dish to work with the motor... http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-ai...uccess-alphastar-31-dish-stab-hh90-motor.html

Interesting idea....? My ceiling fan quit working the other day, maybe I should hook a trash can lid to it and get it going again.....???

But really phlatwound is right, use some ingenuity and build something to work...!!

CBand, if you can not tell, there are people here that want to design the impossible and make it work. Let us have some pictures! Does the back say "Channel Master" 85E or 85cm?
