My Satellite Setup
1.5m IRTE PF, Invacom SNF-031, TBS6983,
Various L, S, C, X & Ka bits. 1.2m S/X/Ku/Ka Prodelin on Az-El (being refurbished), 1.8m Precision PF with Bullseye Ku LNB or various C & X bits

Essex
I'm trying to identify a random collection of dish bits from the shed, including a couple of az-el mounts that look like the ones in the attached pics. They came with a couple of Prodelin 1134 which have similar arms to those pictured and 0.8f/d feeds. The mounts don't fit the 1134. The feed shown on the pic with the unknown mounts looks like an Andrews/CM (0.6f/d?)

What I think are 1134 reflectors look like the Ka 3122. Are the Ku & Ka Prodelin reflectors the same apart from the feed mounting arm holes?

The 1134 came with zinc galvanised angle iron (usually not deburred either), the Skyware looks like a crimped tube feedarm. It also had a simple radiating set of fibre reinforcements for the reflector, not the geometric design on the picture.

I may have a set of feedarms for one out the back but it is raining at the moment. I can get a picture for you tomorrow.
 
Thanks. That pretty much confirms that the arms are for the 1134. I also just found a couple of new kits to attach the feed to the arms (see .pdf).

I think that the az-el mounts were nothing to do with the 1134s but just happened to be in the same skip.

Are you skip diving ?

Btw the 1134 is a 0.8 f/d so the arms would be somewhat longer when put side by side with a Channel Master equivalent.

Just sorting the shed. I got the stuff from a skip diver.

The arms are 1134. I appear to have 2 x 1134 complete kits but with the wrong az-els and a spare set of new feed supports. The az-els have hole spacings of 235mm horizontally (the same as 1134 etc) and 372mm vertically (too far apart for 1134). A couple of extra holes, at the right spacing, would make them useable with the 1134 & variants.
 
I'be just looked in the yard and the feedarm and support arms (tied together ) are not where they should be.

I will have a look around again on Monday but I fear they have been purloined.
