Where to find legacy 1.66 OD DirecTV Dish?

[rodin]

I've been looking for one of the old DTV dishes that has the 1.66" Outer Diameter mounts, but it appears that no one sells those anymore. Maybe I'm incorrect and DirecTV has always used 2"? If there was 1.66" OD, anyone know where I can find one?

The Phase III dishes used to use a 1.66" mast, but now use a 2". The Slimline and AT9 have always been 2". Which are you looking for?

Look around your neighborhood, you may be in an area that used the old dish for pointing at the 72 sat for locals way back, you may be able to get one from someone wanting to get rid of them, also check trailer parks, people move out and leave the old and new dishes.

Their first generation dishes with the single lnb also used 1 5/8" OD mounts/poles.

Try ebay there are many 18" dishes that had a 1 5/8" mast Winegard has made many.

Thanks everyone - I didn't know if the Winegard ones would work or not. Even if it's a tad smaller, it should be able to fit on the outside of a 1.66" pole, just snug. @raoul5788 it was the Phase III dish I based on your information.

A dish network mast will work as long as it's not the the superdish.

SuperDish used 2 3/8" for the first generation plastic/fiberglass dish then 2" for the second generation metal dish.

I got several hundred new 18 dishes. How many you need?
