hmm another local dish

He says "slightly dented" on the outside but fine in the centre will this make a difference do you think and I will I be able to mount it on my motor? I have asked him to email me more pics.

I Gave The Dish A camoflage Look A While Ago...

Flippin' 'eck! Where was he living at the time? Uranus?!?!

I would never buy a dish that was dented without seeing the damage first-hand.

jontydog · 25-08-07, 07:13 PM

the pics he sent left me none the wiser about the dents but it doesn't look too bad

If I was to win this dish what sort of paint would I need to restore it to a decent colour?

White primer Jonty

or you could have it powder coated like my old Televes 90.

Worked a treat afterwards

Just look at that glow

hmm beginning to wonder if its worth getting it the Mrs wants it green so it blends in with the plants. Don't think she realises its twice the size of the 80cm I have now

BGonaSTICK · 29-08-07, 10:50 AM

And it's going to look four times the size!

Why don't you leave it the colour it is and tell her you're setting up a planetarium?

Or that a Uranian meteorite has landed in the garden?
