I have an OEM Hirshmann complete, but I removed the antenna as it had welded itself together.  They always seem to corrode.

Did you remove antenna mast or whole motor? I need the motor itself from inside. Mine has the guide for the shaft on one side completely gone so it moves around and looses contact with the main gear. All my gears are fine. If your motor is fine, I will take it.

I'll test it first.  IIRC it would just run for a bit since there was no antenna to stop it.

I'm out of town, but I'll PM you about it tomorrow.

Don't worry Dave, take care of your back. I have other leads also, so just a waiting game.

Dave,

I found an old antenna housing from my dad's parted e24 and the motor inside was good. Swapped the motor inside the housing and good to go. Nice and quiet and very smooth with the new mast.
