I did use it for Hispasat for over a year. Has a heater on the back. I took off the heater control box. What brand is the dish?

Trying to locate the correct LNB bracket or clamp (the wood block did work good but could be a little better). I would like to use for DXing out of footprint signals in Ku mainly in the AOR. Any help ID'ing dish appreciated.

The mount and elevation hardware looks like the stuff "Prodlin" uses. But the ones I've had were fiberglass, your looks to be stamped steel. I've given away all the Prodlin dishes I had, but maybe someone can give you dimensions as to where to mount a lnb. The original feed would be part of the transmit module that acts as the mount, and can be used for receive only if you still have it.
 
Thanks again. This is my play around dish that is moved about (heavy!) I did some more checking and it is a Prodelin. SMC construction not steel. No feed on it so I used a variety of feeds including an Invacom LNBF and ChannelMaster feed/LNB combo single polarity. I used a spectrum analyzer to check for hotspot in centering feed and focal length.

Worked well for T-11N when there was stuff to see and Hispasat and checked out 78-W but the 8' ChannelMaster did a little better so I am interested in trying it out on 55.4-W for those weak feeds both low and high Ku bands..
