Re: Antenna?

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

Nope, DeLorean's did come with the antenna installed in the back. 
Well, later one's that is. Since it's a subject that has been 
repeated I don't know how many times, I'll avoid the posting the 
history of the antenna here. But, it is for the most part a relativly 
easy part to access. You can buy an entire new unit, or a replacement 
mast to repair. I believe that Darryl Tinnerstet carries the mast in 
stock (haven't yet imported my archived e-mails from backup). Mine 
failed recently too. But after 20 years, I'd say that's a pretty good 
life span.

Another item to check is to make sure that the electrical connections 
are all good. If when the radio is turned on and off you hear the 
antenna motor activating, then the mast is all that's broken.
