Some guy trying to sell this in the North.
Nto sure he's ever tried it - even at a glance you can see that it's value is close to zero.
Not only is the dish clearly bent (and has dents in the surface), but the curently fited universal (as in non-PF) LNB does NOT point to the centre of the dish.

Don't think there'll be many takers...

Yes, sure, mirror goes directly to the scrap-yard, but polar-mount could be used, as well as LNB ( I think it is GI-209P, LNB for PFA ;)), they could be used. So, I would still say it costs something less than 20 EUR if no transportation costs added.

You are right.
But it's difficult to see the merits of the polar mount.
Not enough detail...

no doubt, dish is sh*t and has no use except for making some final fireplace. There is certainly PM, and does not matter what exactly is type of it, it could be re-used.
 
291454468091 1.8m CM i think but seller states the breeze blocks, feed arms,clamp and lnb are not for sale! just the face,nprm and az-el. maybe a bargain for someone
 
Nice but odd that he's not selling arms...

Edit: I mailed the guy and he basically said that they "lost" the side arms. Yes, I could make some but would really prefer the originals. Annoying, as it's not far from me either.

Exact same thing happened to me with a 2.4m Prodelin. had no qualms snapping up the dish, however... 8)

Been through this before with a few people interested in my CM180 reflector.

It shouldn't be too difficult to make a new set of arms.
Either a quick lash up of steel/aly tubes + bent brackets and a metal LNB holder, or something like RimaNTSS's (very nice) meccano-contraptions for his Prodelins.
The measurements (dish to LNB etc) are elsewhere on this site.

If you have the difficult-to-replace-parts, i.e. mount and the mounting bracket, fitting new rams + LNB holder should just be a nice afternoon's work in the sun in the coming months...
 
An odd looking 1.2m dish - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251951168984
90cm prime focus, motorised - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231556530351
1.2m Channel Master from your local skip - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131505880562 Looks like it has bent arms, not worth it
1.4m plastic(?) dish - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261884192977 - not sure if it *is* plastic as I see a bent rim
Wavefrontier 90cm(?) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261884204041 - doesn't look overly straight with some dings on the surface
1.4m prime focus - looks damaged - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111667209750
 
Nice finds! I suspect I know why this owner sells his T90, cuz he installed subreflector upside-down and could not get decent signals ScreenHunter_305 May. 11 20.09.webp And seems that he has more than one T90 (there is another one in the back).
Name of this 140cm dish $_57 (Large).webp is "Cēsu" . Made in Latvia. They sell them new for about 170 EUR. Nice dish. I have one as well. My post #327 And, yes, it is plastic, very light. This one, CM120 (Large).webp of course, famous Channel Master. Dirty as usual and feedarms bended, LNB holder broken.

As I was informed by respectful user @Feedsat_DXer there is the Mirage on the picture! Actually the mirror. Of course, why should person who was no idea how to install subreflector would have 2 T90s?! ScreenHunter_305 May. 11 20.09.webp

Don't reckognise the dish, but I seem to reckognise the mount.
Comparing with the evidence from extensive discussions on this forum about a range of 180cm plastic dishes, I'd say that it's a Northern Satellite Corp 1.2 m dish.
It does, however, look different from the NSC 1.2 meter that RimanTSS has in his stash, but then again, Prodelin has gone through a variety of designs for their 1.2m dishes, so why not NSC?
 
Anyone in my part of Spain want a 1.8 Fam with floor stand and I think twin Invacom lnb for 120€?

Had a call from someone who wants rid!

Congratulations! Finally a CM180 for you...

Re arms: I am in the process of making new arms for my reflector, I've been experimenting to find the easiest way (low cost), and I hope to have a protorype in a week or two.
I draw on the benefit of having a fully working and mounted CM180, so I know exactly where in 3D the LNB should be, makes is a lot easier to cut materials to resonable adequate lengths. I hope to share, if not the arms, then at least the recipe for making them.
