Wanted FiBo / gregorian parts needed

[AtOM13]

I’m looking for Fibo parts to upgrade my CM120: sub reflector, feed arm and feedhorn. Thanks !

Are you in Marseille?
Did you search in "Le bon coin"?

 

[AtOM13]

Yes and yes , already sold or seller doesn't want to ship ... there's also a third dish available but seller doesn't answer
...

Seeing there are no side arm holes in the sub reflector I would say it's off a 90cm

For sure, the parts are from Fibo90, as @scopus said there are no ears on the sub. However, if there were ears, the parts could be as from Fibo90 as well as from Fibo120 (I had one Fibo90 with eared SU.

Ok thanks !
I think a sub from a 120cm is better for my CM 120, but a 90cm Sub will do the job as well ?

My 120cm sub works very well on my Channel Master 1.8. Rima has experience with the a sub on a 120cm Channel Master, he's best placed to answer that one.

Do not worry, they are same ish. If you had 2 of them, you would not see any difference in performance.

GOOOOOOOTTTCCHHHHAAA!!!!!
Fibotization coming soon

30 years old Lnb inside !!!



The feed's hole is very small !!! There's something powered inside ...



Is it possible to separate this part and feed "cornet" ?

 

[RimaNTSS]

There's something powered inside ...

That is an electrical polarizator stuck inside. You need to find a hex set screw (yellow arrow), use 2.5mm key to untighten it. Use some WD40 to make it loose.

 

[AtOM13]

Wow screw was hidden, thanks! Need a wd40 bath this night !

By the way, what mean Fibo ?
