[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1046883"] The polar mount was AFAIK made when Andrew Corporation owned the CM brand (and the moulds). The Az/El (fixed) mount from that time was also just painted (I have one sitting rusting away behind the shed). The galvanished CM mounts dates from ASC and later times. The polar mounts belonged to the analog days. Some even say the good old days ([USER=176362]@Analoguesat[/USER] [USER=175144]@Channel Hopper[/USER] chime in now)... When ASC, and later Skyware took over, digital broadcast remove the need for muti-sat reception from the general viewer. So no more polar mounts are needed, most customers are happy with with the dish poiinting at just one sat. These days, polar mounts are limited to enthusiast's equipment, and therefore not made by "major" sat-vendors... And, hey, enthusiasts will (instead of buying a new shiny product) buy some old rust thing, and them restore that to "as-new". Not much sale in that... [/QUOTE]
