"I have heard some owners complain about the unreliability of those older Hirschmann power antennas. I would say that in at least 80 percent of the few hundred antennas I have taken apart that went bad - the reason was lack of lubrication!
This original 300TD power antenna has been inspected, cleaned, lubricated, adjusted, and tested in our shop. NEW Antenna mast installed and working smoothly, and mounting hardware as shown is included.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not sell replacement antenna masts by year and model. We have run across too many problems with confusion, interchangeability, and previously swapped antennas. We sell a SMOOTH TAIL mast and a TOOTH TAIL mast.
