Are all the subs identical, or are there differences in size?

Fibo55 has small SUB. Fibo90, usually has little bit smaller SUB than Fibo120's. Hoverer some Fibo90s have same SUB as Fibo120.

I see. There's a 90 on a vacant car dealership nearby. I wonder if it's worth tracking the owner to negotiate a removal of "that ugly dish" to grab the sub for use on 120cm dishes...

This is very good idea. Most important parts in Fibo dish are its SUB&feedhorn. The main mirror is primitive offset dish.

I swear I did not want another dish. But one, very good friend of mine insisted to take this 1.8m aluminum PFA. He has made INOX mount for it almost 30 years ago, 1991 to be exact. Will bring it home tomorrow or on Sunday as I am traveling around those days. IMG_20180330_172318 (Large).jpg

Well, "I am back". There are some pictures of a new toy. Surface of the mirror is shiny, should be very good to cook LNBs bi-annually. :) The mount is made of INOX and very strong. Feedarms are from brass. Did not have any problems unscrewing any nuts&bolts, and that is after 27 years of use. Did not do string test, but seems that antenna in pretty good shape.

That mount looks incredibly sturdy - There's no way the dish face could warp with that in place!

Folks! It is a great day for me. Today I got my hands on 0.75m Channel Master dish. By saying that, now I have Channel Master antennas in 6 different sizes. will try to install them this summer.
P.S. Thanks @Trust1 for helping me with this beauty Front075mCM.JPGLable.JPG

From local online flee-market got those coupe of things. Man said he bought them ~10 years ago from communication company when they sold-out some of their equipment. He said that he removed some kind of antenna from the mount, but, of course he had no idea what kind of antenna that was. The mount is made very solid, and I think it can easily hold satellite antenna up to 1m. It has possibility to fine-adjust azimuth and elevation. Another item he had no idea what that was. But I think that CCTV camera can be mounted on top of it and then controlled electrically azimuth and elevation.

Wow 240v, I bet that's got a fair bit of torque!

Attached new device to 60x60mm vertical pipe (not painted :N) When all 6 nuts are tightened there is no way that mount can go around the pipe even if pipe not square but round. I think this mount is ready to receive some antenna..... perhaps even some Channel Master. I only need to make adapter plate.
