I finally found a large Cband dish near me. The guy says it is 8 feet but I have a hunch it is probably 12 feet or at least 10. I will be out of town next week on vacation so I plan on picking it up in two weeks if all goes as planned. Does anyone know what kind of dish this is? He is also throwing in a couple of receivers for it so hopefully they are 4dtv units.

Is there some writing on the center.
It does not help much to know who made it because everybody has gone out of business. I think it looks good and it should do a good job for you!!! EB.

Looks like a nice dish. Great find! I had a 10.5' Luxor back in the 80's that looked just like this dish, but used a button hook feed support.

If you could take a pic of the mount I might be able to tell. It kind of looks like a channel master and it has to be at least 10', awesome find Rob.

Ya I won't be able to get out there until monday after next. I could probably stop to check it out after work one day but its the opposite direction of my house from my work so I will probably wait until I have an extra day off. My prediction is 12 feet.

Well I just got back from taking the dish down and it appears to be a 10' Unimesh. It came with 3 receivers. An old Drake analog mover, an old Pansat 2300, and a DSR905 4dtv sidecar that I will sell. Had about 6 wasp nests inside the feedhorn cover. Luckily I did not get stung.

I snoozed too long on the 12' Paraclipse down in MA, a member of another forum snagged it. In my jealous rage last night I began hunting for another BUD on Craigslist. A few minutes of searching brought me to a 10' dish in my own town for 50$! I called the guy this morning and he is the owner of a local parts store. I just picked it up a few minutes ago. It looks like a SAMI or Unimesh. I haven't got all of the pieces yet but I don't think I could have got much more lucky as the dish was disassembled. I just didn't have the time to go after the Paraclipse. :-)
