My raido antenna broke. You can hear the motor spinning, but the antenna is stuck in the up position.
I took out the antenna mast, and noticed that the cable either broke or fell off its track. Is this repairable or should I be looking for a replacement? I might go with something like this if I do replace it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/REAL-CARBON-FIBER-...#ht_4989wt_1217 This post has been edited by lagos: Jul 23, 2012 - 9:53 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Mast is replaceable -- $30 or so. It's nigh impossible for the cable to fall off its track due to the design of the gearing, but breaking is common as the plastic ages and becomes less flexible.
That eBay antenna base suggests it works only with a manual antenna, which would mean sourcing the antenna probably from a base model seventh-gen. |

Basterds!!! Got a link? |
