1977 Itasca roof antenna seal

[Jbknight311]

Hello all. New Guy here. Picked up a nice 1977 Itasca P30 and have a drip from the antenna control arm inside. Plus the mechanism is frozen probably rusted in place.
Anyone worked on this that has advice?
I have been through all the parts drawings and can't seem to find anything on this antenna.
The crank is suppose to raise it and if you pull down the on the crank it will turn the antenna to get signal.


Thanks for all the great info on this site.

I prefer no TV while camping (trying to get away after all), and the fewer roof penetrations the better, so when I was up there cleaning and patching the antenna was removed, the hole patched and sealed.


I can tell you that it will come off, if you're interested you can take the whole thing down and clean it up and get it working again or replace with a new one. Or patch the hole and use a HD digital antenna on a window if your signals are strong enough (outside a city)

If this an older style house type antenna, then the users and parts manual are in the member area, antennas, Braund Skyliner.  Lists parts and assembly details.
