I have had it apart many times -- works ok for a while then problems with the mast withdrawing fully (new masts, old masts). Been down the lubricant path, pulling multiple units in the yards, combining with the best used parts, etc., etc.
I am wondering if someone has bought or remembers from when the car was new how long the (BRAND NEW) unit performed well?

79mercy sent me a new board and I plugged it in.
My other problem was a lack of lubrication which caused the antenna to get stuck. I wiped on some white lithium grease and that solved the problem.
That antenna assembly is easily serviceable. I've had mine apart a handful of times.
It's been working perfectly since I fixed it last summer and I haven't had any issues since then.
