The check for the license plate holder is in the mail.
My plan was to replace the antenna and repair the original, and then I would
have a spare. Things don't always work out like we plan.
The original antenna is in a tube, secured with points pressed in the tube
to hold the parts in the tube. I thought I could drill out the points (only
the points) and remove the parts. Once I got the parts out of the tube I
could figure out a way to repair the antenna. Do you have some thoughts on
the project? Or some pictures you could e-mail me.
The old antenna motor assembly has some contacts on the motor gear assembly.
It appears that the gear assembly moves up or down when the antenna is at
the top or bottom of its travel. The armature moves up when the antenna is
at the top and down when it is at the bottom of its travel. There is a
white wire that does something; I think it is the signal wire to the
controller.
I am going to disassemble the old antenna next week, any help you could give
me would be appreciated.
I have already spent too much time on the car this week. I have an
apartment building to get ready for painting and a fence to build. I bought
a 4-unit apartment building 6 years ago it keeps me going, and has been a
good investment.
Since I retired November of 2000 I don't know where the time goes!!
And it is time to get the boat out; fishing season is about to start.
Thanks for all your help.

Larry, I offered to you the opportunity to repair your antenna. If the
proper antenna is fitted to your car it will work properly. There are alot
of people hawking their wares when they don't have the slightest idea of
what they are talking about...anything to make a sale. Might I suggest
contacting the people who sold you this "one size fits all" antenna and see
what other lies they can concoct.
Personally,I am not in it for the money,Including all my business
interests I make a rather healthy paycheck. My interests are purely in
helping out fellow car buffs with my love of repairing the unrepairable.
To answer your question, the internal contacts in the antenna tell it
it is either up or down and when to stop.
Imperially yours, Dennis

tells the antenna motor to stop?
