I'm looking for an antenna motor for my '56 Eldorado, preferably rebuilt.  My original unit is reportedly damaged beyond repair. 

Also, I need to replace a broken mast section...the second section from the ball/thinnest end of the mast. 

I'm having trouble finding either one.  Are there any out there?

Good antenna, bad motor, took it apart and it is toast. Everything else appears to be good.

Do you have a photo of what you need?  I found a complete antenna in my parts cabinet, marked "56",  but I am not sure.  I tested the motor & it runs.  The mast is broken / stuck. I didn't disassemble it.  I also think I have the re-chromed fender escutcheon & nut.....have to dig a little deeper...

Thanks for the reply; I think I have already found what I need.  Will know very soon.

Just in case: Klaus Wojak as a rebuild '56 antenna for sale. Expensive (about $ 600.00 if I remember), but I was satisfied with the antennas he sold me in the past.
