WANTED: Used Home Satellite Receiver

From what I've read (mostly from rec.video.satellite), there should
be some old 70MHz systems out there that I can pick up for under $300 
or one of the newer block converter systems for around $500.  If you have
one of these systems that has been replaced by a newer one, or if you
have given up due to the VCII(etc.) scrambling system, and are willing
to part with it for something in the price range mentioned above,
please give me a call.

I don't need one with a de-scrambler, as I'm interested in the clear
channels.  However, there are a couple of things that it has to have.
It has to have a 10 foot (or slightly larger) antenna and it has to
have Base Band output (or at least accessible).  It would be nice
to have 2 separate audio channel tuners (for stereo), but not necessary.

The prices mentioned above may seem a little low for a satellite system
that someone paid $2000-$2500 for (installed), but the technology
changes pretty fast and I can pick up a NEW mid range system with
the new VCII+ descrambler for around $1200-$1300.  

However, I really would rather start out with a smaller investment in 
an older system that I can play with.
