Bargain Second-Hand Big Dishes For Sale

Slightly intrigued by this issue, I had a look at the Gibertini website: the full range of dishes is here, and the listed (now sold) single arm dish (and Llew's dish) appears to be a 125LP, whereas the V-arm version is is the 125L as shown here.

The illustration of the 125LP is not very clear, but if you look closely I think it can be seen that the single arm is held in place by a riveted bracket just like both the listed and Llew's dishes.

That page also mentions, and shows, "Optional Supports" for the single arm to the edges of the dish face - but those are not listed on the linked "Accessories" page which shows only the accessories for the 125L, so I wonder how you could order them if required???

PS: the single feedarm on the bigger OP150S is really "kinky" (literally!:lol:) and has those "supports".

Yes, that website does explain the differences a little more clearly. For instance the 125L seems more suited to a fixed dish installation, as it has an integrated mounting bracket on the backplate, whereas the 125LP has no such bracket, necessitating the purchase of a separate bracket for a fixed dish/polar mount assembly.

Not sure what the 'P' suffix means. Or 'L' come to that. Probably an Italian word.
 
Another V-arm Gibby 125L & Inverto Black Twin in Tuxford Nottinghamshire

Looks to be in good condition.

£25 starting point, 6 days to go & no bids so far .
 
That's a very special dish @RimaNTSS . Where was it used for and where are you going to use it for?

I like when dishes are not ordinary. Dish was used by television company. How exactly....I do not know. If I get it will try to install somewhere in the yard and catch couple of sat-signals.
 
Yes of course, but do you have a particular satellite in mind? Ku or C band?
 
All visible satellites Ku and C. :D Nothing particular, just a process.
 
Do you have actuators that can handle it ?
Nope. I did not even see antenna yet. As far as I understood it has Az/El mount, which means it can be adjusted manually. So, manual pointing will be my initial way to go.
 
Still no bids on that £25-starting price Gibby in Tuxford with just under 3 days to go.

OTOH, if someone is feeling really "flush" then how about one from Wrexham at a mere £999.99, and you will get "FREE" postage?:D

The one from Wrexham is now £75....The seller must have realised the error...

We were on the roof today. Myself, my neighbor, seller and buyer. 4.6m antenna is sold. On the picture all 4 of us and antenna. Picture was taken as a reflection on another building windows.

Very intresting, how come there are so many professional Andrew antennas in private hands in Latvia?!
BTW, what's the other antenna seen at the background in this photo?
 
Yep, really nice. What's the brand?
