Buy and mount whilst she is out, have done it several times
 
I have done other trick several times, and it really worked for me well: bring dish home silently and hide it somewhere. Let it stay for some time. In ideal situation you wife sees it and ask you WTF, you make your eyes wide open and say that this dish was there long time, even before you have married. If wife does not see the dish, than, one Sunday morning you say to her that you will install your old dish which is stored "somewhere" by you long time ago, perhaps before marriage, then you go and find the dish! :cool:
 
next i want the 1.2m fibo gregorian dish,
im already on about next when i havent even picked up this dish yet lol

this hobby is addictive :)
 
Lucky you @saj1985 ! Congratulations! I do not think it will be easy to find Fibo120 for sale, but you can try. I would say that it is worth to get 1.2m CM dish and mount subreflector and feedhorn from you just purchased Fibo90 to it. At the end of the day you will have nice 1.2m Channle Master dish frankensheined to gregorian type.

cheer mate, what do you reckon for £95?
i think its a good price for a dish thats on demand

yea will also keep an eye out for 1.2m channel master,
but when it comes to the fibo 1.2m and the cm 1.2m ill need a roof rack for that
 
Price on the Second-hand market is always the deal between 2 persons, and at the end of the negotiation process price is about right. If you payed £95 and both, you and the seller are happy, so the price is right. Believe me, after couple of month you will totally forget how much money did you pay for this nice dish! 1.2m antenna fits perfectly inside any minivan (Zafira, Touran etc.), other-ways, you are right, you need roof-rack or trailer.
Add: @saj1985 I see you have approached your SWIMBO from the right side last night , so she did not mind you to get new toy :Y

yea im happy at £95 because it comes with the motor, looks like it needs a good clean
thats kewl that it fits in your zafira/touran

i'll need to start a thread about the lnb on the fibo because ive used normal lnbs but that looks like its the feedhorn (i think thats what you call it)

shes not completely on board but hey sh*t happens haha
nah seriously im sure she'll be fine with it...
 
Fibo dishes are excellent. I paid £100 for the 55cm one which are the rarest ones of them all (using for 28e). Paid £18 and £30 for two of my 90cm ones and just £50 for the 1.2m (got very lucky) - sadly none are in use.

I do have another Gregorian dish - the T90! Heavily in use and to be modified later in the year.

It is possible to adjust normal LNBs to the Fibo feedhorn. You can get his PLL Octagon twin LNB (PM if interested) or adjust another one. Just took this picture ... it is night outside, you know IMG_20180325_222321.webp

I think Lidl Anthracite "metal" spray paint is that colour... :-rofl2
 
Any spray paint will do as long as it's not metallic as that will play havoc with microwaves.
 
ive given the fibo motor to my father in law to test it out, hes a retired electrician so hopefully he'll have a good look at it
