Anybody know were I can get two or three old satelite dishes.? Answered

I would like two or three of these. They don't have too be any bigger than two feet. The more I think about it the more I want some of these. I want to make a mirror death ray, A water collection system and a super ear microphone. Also if any body knows of some other large parobolic dish I am open to sugestions.

Dumpster dive. Look in scrap yards.
Craigslist.
Ask at TV stores with installation services, see if they have any scrap spares.
Check the phone book for aerial and dish services, give them a call to see if they have any spares they have removed when a customer upgraded.
Walk around and look at houses. If a property has more than one dish, one may be redundant (especially if one is larger than the others, as new dishes tend to be smaller, and non-circular) - you could offer to take it down for them for free, as long as you get to keep the dish.

Your profile says you're 16 - you should be able to get out and do all of those yourself.

_{_{If you're not exactly 16 yet, then tell the folk you ask that you need them for a school science project on space communication, or transmitting renewable energy. If you mention "death rays" they won't be quite so cooperative.}}

I will try. However I need my dad to take me to the above mentioned places. He also has this thing about me scrounging in dumpsters. By the way even if I could do all this myself my dad would get real mad if I started bringing home 3ft Dishes without asking him.
