We recently acquired an older Channel Master dish. we have the LNB support arms but no bracket. Does anyone know where to get/make a bracket? The dish uses a center focal point.

good morning and welcome . i kinda think i know what bracket yo need but to be positive i need more help. you might be able to find it if you goggle search your item. please give me a model number or size or type.

What are the measurements of your dish (height and width)? If you have a roundish dish, chances are its either a 1 meter or a 1.2. It could also be a .75, but the .75's have a smaller mount. The 1.2's often have a larger mount than the 1.0's. On the back of the dish, Channel Master usually put a stamp that has the mold type...
Unfortunately, none of these Channel Master AZ-EL mounts work well on a dish with a motor, if you were looking at that direction due to their weight.May be possible to clamp on a regular DirecTV or even a Dishnetwork 500 bracket/mount, that would also let you skew. Has been done! One problem that this caused was DirecTV bracket, was wrong size, it Offset dish, 30" wide, 32.5" high. The bolts are 5" apart left-to-right, and 5.25" apart top-to-bottom. One might used a bit of thin wood to take up the difference, of course paint or treat the wood.
Primestar used channel master dishes. Some of the channel master dishes primestar used were like these and came in about 3 different sizes. Based on your measurements yours could be like the ones that were commonly refer to as "round" primestars although as you know they're not actually round. They are however closer to being round than the other oval primestar dishes which were also made by channel master but used a mount that was simialar but slightly smaller. Anyway, your best bet is to look at the other threads through a google search where people have fabricated thier own custom mounts for primestar dishes and use that for ideas about constructing your own mount. You can give us a little more info as well and we can do some searching for you as well

You do not have to be crazy to be my friend, but it sure helps.................

We have the mount on the back of the dish for puting it on a pole...and we have the suport arms for the front of the dish...however we are lacking the mount that the 2 pipes attach to that would hold the lnb. hope this is more understandable for help now. Thanks in advance
