Wanted: Crank-up style antenna

TravelTiger said:

Does anyone have a complete crank-up antenna (all of the parts included) laying around that they would be interested in getting rid of?

We “upgraded” to a King Jack and tossed our old antenna years ago, but have found the Jack Antenna is not getting signals like our old crank-up used to. I think it’s because it’s obstructed often by the AC it’s next to.

If anyone has one “laying around” and wants to get rid of it, let me know. I can pay shipping.

Need in hand by June 1.

Yes I didn’t want to spend over $100 to then cannibalize it to add a jack antenna head.

We loved the jack antenna head on our previous rig on the AntennaTek crank-up arm. When we got the new rig in 2016, we decided to go with an all-in-one Jack antenna, and not have to worry with remembering to put the antenna down. However, in our same rural “home” rv park and site, we cannot get the channels we could with the taller antenna mast. The major stations’ towers are about 50 miles away. Although we typically use satellite, there are times during storms we need that antenna to watch local weather.

So, if I understand properly, you want an old Winegard crank up antenna? Boxed up and shipped to you? If so, let me know and I can send it to you.
