There is a post on the PAC forum about Casco antenna repairs. I know nothing about the individual or the service but since the topic has come up a few times on this forum and he did not post over here I will pass the info on so those in need can check it out.

Thanks for the tip Howard. I sent an email for my 2 power antennas. I'll post any replies I get.
Regards, Steve

This the return post from the Packard antenna supplier as mentioned by HH56 above.


"Thanks for your interest. The antenna cables (kits) are $99.00 each. I'd be happy to extend a 10% discount for buying more than one, which almost exactly the shipping cost. Iv'e sent one to Arizona, and the shipping was $9.60. Thus, the total price for two would be would be $189.00 frieght pre-paid. They are fully returnable. If you like, I can send the Service Procedure ahead of your purchase (kindly Email your address) so you can get a handle on how the old cables get damaged and how the new cables are installed. Depending on your time frame, you may send me a $100.00 deposit and I'll send them, with rest due on delivery. I have three in stock, and expect 10 more early next week."

This is a big issues for some other period brands, too. The nylon mast drive breaks, but not available new/NOS. Can use the old ones, if good, but won't last, they break with age. Supply is dwindled, so I hope someone comes up with a repro part. Motors aren't made either, few, if any, options for rebuild due to size.
So if anyone knows of other sources, please post. I haven't found any.
