That could be a Ka-Band internet dish with a Ka-Band LNB in one of those Hughes boxes.
If present, it could be a useful Ka LNB, depending on the frequency range it covers.

It would need pictures of the contents of the Hughes boxes and close ups of the labels to work out if there was any value.

Definitely a 1.25 that. They have a different LNB arm to the 85 and 100.

Great dish, bargain.

TBH, the arm configuration varies according to the "dish model range", not just the size - effectively, the higher the price in any dish size then then the "better" and more rigid the arm is likely to be. Take a look at the Gibertini satellite website (there are other totally unrelated Gibertini websites!) for more info.

That website is here.

PS: Treat any trade offers in the UK, and elsewhere, of Gibertini dishes with some caution - a couple of places offering those dishes have been found to be "possibly less than totally upfront" about what they are supplying. OTOH, s/h stuff on ebay, FB and similar sites is generally "you get what you see" (for good or ill!) and prices are often negotiable.

I've seen a few of these 'konnect' labelled dishes on Ebay, IIRC they all had this ODU:

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

An absolute bargain, looks as though it has been installed/maintained throughout its life.

Motorised 1.2m Channel Master dish with polar mount and Echostar actuator.
Starting bid at £1, collection from Sheffield.

Seller is possibly one of the greatest UK fabricators and dx'ers ever to grace this forum.
Easy to deal with and sells at value prices.

Wow! He really played a lot with his antenna. Copied a picture in case his add is over. The feedarm looks complicated. And LNB-holder also has an upgrade. s-l1600a.jpg

Yes, he knew how to setup equiment that is for sure, the pictures of his dual axis motorised 3.7m Paraclipse dish install were amazing, way beyond the skiils of many dx'ers.

While he is a divisive fellow and his behaviour on this forum is unacceptable, I'll concede that he had some interesting, if not entirely conventional, ideas.
