Dish nameplate from historical video

1

Sorry I cannot resist sharing this - have been enjoying lots of youtube nasa, space and tracking historical videos and last night came across this nameplate for a dish:

BlawKnoxApolloDish_TheGuaymasStory_1967
BlawKnoxApolloDish_TheGuaymasStory_1967714Ă—502 45.7 KB

That pushes several of my buttons - Apollo, S-Band, X-Y mount, Blaw Knox, Collins radio.
