[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1112024, member: 178786"] Hi, As some of you will know the recent S4C auction catalogue contained three lots, each lot offering a Precision 2.8m dish setup, two fixed and one motorised. Considering that both Precision Antennas and Elite Antennas are no longer in business, the auction seemed to offer an opportunity to acquire some UK located high quality large dishes at hopefully acceptable cost. As it transpired, the winning bid amounts plus auctioneer and transport fees were within budget and all three lots were bought. We used a single nominated bidder approach on all three lots. One of the Precision 2.8m setups was purchased and collected by one of the major players from "the wavy line scene" whilst I had the other two. This topic will mainly cover the two setups that I purchased. To start the topic off it might be useful to provide some pictures of the three Precision 2.8m dish setups on site before dismantling and removal. The first picture attached below was taken back in 2012 before the dishes acquired another 9 years of Cardiff grime. Access to the compound where the dishes were installed was by a flight of steps through a single gate. We had a team of five people on site to work on dismantling, carrying the equipment down the steps and loading onto vehicles. It proceeded without any issues. .
