The antenna uses a switch to stop, lemme see if I can explain it.. Borrowing a pic since I don't know where I put my broken one. Part C is an adjustable arm thingy that makes part B turn about 45 degrees for every full rotation of the pulley that the antenna cable wraps around. If you look closely at the top of part B in the pic, there is 1 pin on the gear thats different from the rest. That one goes between the switches (A). So the full travel of the antenna is a full rotation of B, or 8 rotations of the pulley. If the motor is good, you might want to check A for bad connections. I don't think there are any relays in the antenna. It took me about 20 minutes to fix the junkyard antenna I pulled with the part B from mine after I broke the mast, and swap the tubes that the antenna goes into. Mine had a lot of internal corrosion so I didn't just swap the mast.





Any chance theres a market for rebuilding these things? I could make a few bucks..
