Re: [VAL] TV antenna hook up

[Chris Koehn <timberguides@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recently replaced the worm gear in our 1979 Skyliner antenna, so that 
it now raises, lowers, and has nearly 360 degrees of rotation. Kit was 
~ $7 from Oasis RV and took 20 minutes to install. The reason the old 
one failed is the P.O. greased the gears. The grease is bound to 
collect dust and grit in short order, gum up, and well, you can imagine 
the rest. No lube needed on nylon gears!
  I also abandoned the old (and in rough shape) twin lead wire in favor 
of new RG-6 coax. The coax runs to a splitter, which in turn feeds the 
TV and the stereo. ~$15 total. I'm amazed by the improvement in 
reception over rabbit ears.
