Looks like a 1.2m Echostar on its original galvanised polar mount.
Amazing value at £5 collected for anyone wanting to go motorised.

Shame they wern't Gibby 1.5's , i'd have been over there like a shot.
I use the same 1.2 on my Ka band set up - excellent performers.

Tempted by the Gibby but I’ve not really got a need for it.

Cheap 1.4m that looks in decent condition.

Unsure on the make / model.

What looks like an original galvanised dual axis motor mount, well worth the current money..

The standard arms don't often survive, same with the 2.4 receive only version. Not only are they very thin but the centre feed clamp rots in the sun and the clamping bolt threads rust.

I think it is nothing to worry about. The dish looks fresh enough. Most likely, the owner just removed feedarms and put them aside to have more space in his yard. s-l1600.jpg

Cannot believe how much the CM 1.2 went for.

Is it because people want to use newer motors or something?

Pretty much, the cost of polar mount, actuator, positioner and wall mount will put people off compared to a Gibertini. Also it's easier to add a multi LNB setup & probably better for Ka band than the CM.

>> "& probably better for Ka band than the CM." <<
I found that to be the case also when i did a comparison between my same model 1.2 Gibby and one of my CM 1.2's.
