Good luck. Hope you get it! Then we'll let you join the Fibo club

Great, I am looking forward to a return trip to Chatham and Rochester ( I might just make a night of it). I see you all call the dish 'Fibo' is this some kind of nickname?

Regards

Its not a nic name but its the manufacturers name Fibo, and the type of dish it is Gregorian. There are other Gregorian dish types, but Fibo`s are the best

You just don`t know how true that statement may be....

Did you win it Billet?

Billet · 23-07-08, 08:18 AM

Yep, I am hoping to pick up on Thursday, it should go nicely with my new Vantage (hd8000)

You said I would need to change the LNB, what is the best one to buy?

regards

crossbones · 23-07-08, 10:44 AM

Well you had a bargain there bud!

Any C120 LNB will be ok, but I can recommend the Inverto .3 whitetech, and there quite cheap at around £15.

Or the Invacom`s are great.

The only problem you might have is fitting the C120 lnb to the feed horn as it looks like the older type flange.

You will need the part pictured below. Its available from here -www.seh1.de/detailar.asp?AN=627 but at 20 euros & shipping is quite pricey.

I had the part made, if you know some one maybe they could do the same? But you may be lucky and have the correct flange

Let us know how you get on with it and get some pics up of it installed

I just happen to have a good mate who owns an engineering company. He will make me (us) anything, helpful to have drawings.

I have been talking to the chap who sold it he seems to be a really helpful bloke (Satdave). he has offerred me lots of advice.

Sure once it is up and running I will post some pics, then, can I join thje club?????!!!!!

There you go job done!

Ill happily supply any measurements you require.

You should be able to get the measurements from the excisting flange

Nice one Billet

I had to dump my Inverto white tech twin. It was s**t. That may have been due in part to the fact that the body is so long that the F connectors foul the LNB arm itself. I used the single too for a while, which was better, but not great.

Now fitted the Invacom Quad. Superb, but about £50 more than the white tech.

See _http://www.nosky.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4397.0.html for pics.
