hirschmann antenna maintenance question

[seadog]

noise started getting louder over time and after reading a few post, i decided to remove and attempt servicing.

it's a 6000 el model.

a member stated that the inside should be packed with grease.

not sure what the member meant by "packed" with grease. anyone know what type grease? any recommendations on methods/products used in the maintenance of these antenna is appreciated. thanks.

"packed with grease" sounds a bit extreme.

I'm proud of my DIY on a 6000U. PeachPartsWiki: Antenna mast replacement (with old cable stuck inside the motor housing)

I don't know about the 6000 EL, but there are embedded links in my DIY that might help.

I'd also look at the ones here: http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/DoItYourSelf
