[QUOTE="wodgey, post: 1077088, member: 414223"] Hi everyone. This is the first forum I've clicked into after searching Google. Apologies if this feels like spam but it's genuinely more a request for info and ideas.[ATTACH type="full"]126396[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]126396[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]126399[/ATTACH] A friends elderly parents (ages 70+ and 80+) asked me to angle-grind this out of their garden and take to the local tip\dump. I said to hold off as this looks too amazing to simply send to landfill. It's a dish with motorized tracking and movement. Apparently the controller and all the electronics components are packaged up in their loft (which I presume to mean the old, ancient analogue receiver box too although of limited use nowadays, I'd imagine). My initial thought immediately jumped to a software-defined-radio enthusiast or perhaps a DIY radio-telescope project but someone mentioned it might still have value to some of you guys. So can anyone tell what these are and what I'd be best doing with these items? I've no use for them and couldn't store them even if I did [/QUOTE]
