1960s 1961 Antenna Disassembly

I must have used up all my small shrink tubing. I will get more on my way home tomorrow.

I got my small brass crimps. Connected the wires and heat shrunk. But I made a mistake, as I tried to fit the cap  the rotor lifted above the brushes and they popped out. Took a minute for me to reinstall them.



Then I tested the motor to make sure it was working. It was a bit slow, and I realized I forgot to clean the old grease.



I should have cleaned the grease before paint. The electric parts cleaner stripped paint off. I will let this completely dry overnight and tape off and repaint tomorrow. I will finish assembly then. Good note the motor moved much faster after cleaning.

It works smoothly. I just need to solder the wire back in place.
