[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1056075, member: 178786"] Hi, Here we go again, another Precision dish refurbishment offering. Last year it was the Precision 2.2m dish project that started in May and was abandoned in June due to the sale of the dish. A link to last years old old topic is pasted below. [URL="https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/precision-2-2-metre-antenna-install.171616/"]Precision 2.2 metre Antenna Install[/URL] This year the Precision dish season has started later than normal, however, the show gets on the road with a Precision 2.0m dish. The dish and associated kit is a "barn and bramble rescue" job and has not been in use since 2003/2004. A bit of pruning to some brambles was needed to extricate the dish from its resting place but the other kit just needed removing from the barn. The "barn and bramble rescue" consists of a Precision 2.0m dish with feed support arms, Precision galvanised polar mount, Precision galvanised tripod ground stand and a 24" actuator (working!). I have attached a few pictures below. A low powered jet wash should remove most of the surface grime from the equipment but there are a few jobs to do with the dish to get it looking decent and operational. That's all for now, I will be back later with updates as the bodge job refurb progresses, unless of course the project is abandoned.... [/QUOTE]
