[VAC] Re: Antennae service help



Joy,

The original antenna would have been the Braund Skyliner. Parts for it are
still readily available. The most common failure is the lifting gears sun rot
and strip out. A replacement gears is available through most RV accessory
outlets.
The nasty caulk you refer to hopefully is the often mentioned Vulkem. Kind gray
and impossible to get off sound right??. If so it's Vulkem. Otherwise if it
kind sits there and comes off in rubbery chunks it is probably silicone. That
stuff needs to come off completely cause it ain't working.
The inside cover you describe is correct for the Braund antenna. It doesn't
take the big thing Winegard antenna's use.
