Antenna
Ann broke her antenna. Snapped off at the base. 7mm deepwell socket got the base out. I read on here you could fix it. Put the antenna in the vise between wood scraps. Used a new hacksaw blade to cut off cleanly. Put base in a drill press vise, drilled out remains. There is a tiny wad of metal wool, to make the connection electrically. Put wool in brass base, tapped it onto aerial; bolted on. Works perfect, cost a few minutes of time. SL rocks! The stuff you learn here is great! Joe

wool
so when we put a shorty flexible in will the wool matter? wondered if it was the locktite I used on the staff or what but once in awhile takes forever to start receiving...don't remember even seeing it but mine snapped on way home from MV in 2013...replaced it after I got home

Hi Joe;
Mine broke first year. Got an auto antenna from wrecked car, GM, Chrysler and Ford use similar antenna, just have to rethread base to 6MM.
They are the same length and looks and works great.Will not break again.

Anyone ever take a look at a hidden antenna? Something like https://www.denniskirk.com/kuryakyn/...prd/409246.sku for example?

On a roll!
Trailer key broke off in the trailer! Took it apart, dug out the broken key, put it back together, and it worked with the spare key!! Had a new spare cut, and back in business!!

First time
Garage door got it. I'm sure she had no idea. Normally, we hit the button on the way in to close it. I came home from work and found it on the floor.
