    The 50$ dish turned out to be a bust. The guy couldn't find the mount so he gave me my money back. I got to keep the mesh sections. I could possibly get the feedhorn supports but I may have to nag the guy. Here are some pictures. I would like to identify the brand so I can see about locating a mount for it.

    I just picked up a nib ten foot orbitron dish with a dsr920 receiver with all the accessories for 100$. Probably going to store this dish for now.

    It comes with a new Venture actuator and an Astrotel PM-93-C/KU feedhorn assembly. All new and unused. This setup came from Skyvision.

    Later today I am going to pickup the AZbox with 10' Channel Master fiberglass dish for 200$. Bonuses for this deal are a Pansat 9200 and a few diseqc switches including an 8 into 1.

    I finally got the rest of the pieces for the local 10' dish from the parts store owner. The feedhorn cover says Odom on it. I have everything but the mount. I found a free mount down in Ct that I will have to pickup soon. Unfortunately one of the dogs damaged the mesh in one section but its fixable.

    'Tis the season for picking up large dishes. I just scored a Radio Shack 9' dish today with an HH actuator. The guy had it all disassembled in the basement. I have a line on a 7.5' Winegard next week that will require takedown.

    Yeah, nice one Rob. Buds around my area are like finding a needle in a hay stack.

    Well I just got back from getting the Winegard. I went up under the impression that it was a 7.5' dish. It turned out it was a heavier duty 10' dish and its different from my main dish. This dish has 8 segments. It was almost 3 stories up and it took a few hours of careful maneuvering to get it down. It has a buttonhook on it also. Luckily I didn't fall.

    Great job Rob, not too many guys would tackle a job that high. Guess the home owner was very pleased too.
