Is it metal or fiberglass? That dish should work great for at least c band if it is not warped.

I agree with EB, as long as it's not warped as it seems to be in dire need of tlc, it should work excellent for both bands. Bring extra help as it looks heavy and hopefully there is a polar mount to get that dish motorised.

Hello Bill
This dish looks like a Birdview maybe 8 to 8.5 feet dish, they are suppose to be very good dishes, grab it.
here is some information, check it out.

Yep. Its a Birdview. One of the finest dishes out there, on THE finest horizon to horizon mount ever constructed, IMO. Make sure if you get it you get the pole, you will need it.
