Do not worry about this Sten, I have no problems if I store something for a longer period of time.
 
OK the pics as promised @blademedia @RimaNTSS


Dish jetwashed
Polar mount filed, cleaned, wire brushed 3 coats of hammerite, stainless steel fixings
Wall brackets/pole filed, cleaned, wire brushed 3 coats of hammerite

The only things i have not replaced are the lnb/lnb arm screws and the threaded rod with the markings

I have set the mark on 53, not sure how i set the higher mark :/

It says 20 now. Even better deal now.

But why the wrong 1.85m dish size? Seems rather a lot even with some margin for errors...
(I once saw a local ad for a 1.5 Echostar - turned out to be a 1.2, which is 1.35 at the furthest!)

Interesting motor !

It is old motor- actuator for changing LNB's position to catch different satellites (instead of moving the dish). Yes, interesting .... as part of the history of SAT-TV.

This looks like a nice 1.8mt dish for anyone in the East Anglia area

Very nice.
With original polar mount (matches the period decal on the dish - this is authentic!).
Unless the dish suffers from flaking (some early CMs did), it's just a clean-up with some soapy water on the reflector, and possibly a bit more rust removal action on the mount (lot's of how-tos on the site), and you've got a premium class feed-hunting dish....
Too bad East Anglia is more than 3-4 hours away by car from here. ;)

Less than an hour from here though;-)
 
Yes, I could do that in less than an hour. Would love that one here, but no spare space unfortunately, unless I remove two fixed dishes first.
The problem then would be restricted scanning area, 30E-40W at most in that position, so not really worth the effort of installing it. Shame.
