[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1112038, member: 178786"] Continuing on from the topic opening post I have attached a few more pictures below of the fixed dish setups before dismantling. The procedure for dismantling the fixed dish setups started with a slight issue due to most of the feed support arm release bolts on the rear side of the dishes being siezed. To remove these bolts we used a plumbers torch and a wrap around soldering mat that fitted closely around the dish face ends of the feed support arms. The mat protected the dish face very well from the torch and all feed support arms were removed without any sign of damage to the dish faces from the torch. After that it was simply a matter of removing the three mounting ring bolts and carrying the dishes down the steps to the awaiting vehicles, followed by the mounts and ground stands. Interestingly, the two fixed setup reflectors had sequential serial numbers, probably indicating they were ordered at the same time from Precision Antennas? .
