I finally got a video of the dish. Here it is!
Watch my project unfold as I convert a 10' c-band satellite dish into a hot water generating piece of modern technology.

Counter balance fabricated and installed.
This part of the project took many hours between my Dad my brother and myself. We had to fabricate 3 brackets which attached to the back of the dish, two 6' arms, one 50" arm, and one plate to hang our weights off of.
The end result was very encouraging. We now have a near 50/50 weight distribution which will reduce the load on our actuators significantly.
