Replacement for Concord Electric Series 90 TV Antenna

We have a 1998 Monaco Dynasty that has this tv antenna on the roof that raises up and can be rotated. In high winds, it almost blew off and was damaged. The plastic part that attaches to the metal part that raises, broke off. I always thought it was a Wineguard but the brochure says Concord series 90 electric antenna and they apparently aren't made anymore. There's a box on the inside with the Up and Down, Travel and Turn modes. Any idea where I can get a replacement or maybe a Wineguard model that is compatible? It also comes with a booster switch you turn on that amplifies the signal. The original brochure says Braund Manufacturing Company. The number, 269-965-2371 still works but technical support says they haven't made one of those motorized tv antennas in over 10 years, but she didn't have any suggestions on what to do now. Thanks for your input.

    Ive read about people posting about the Jack not being good, but I've had nothing but good things about it. Me and my buddy had the winegard sensor. He added the wingman. He could never get many stations. And after the switch to digital my stations went from around 10 to 3 if I was lucky! The Jack got me more than I had before the switch to digital. And in my driveway 50 miles from downtown Chicago I went from 10 stations to 70! I changed nothing but replacement Jack. Many others have had similar results. I know you need to aim them perfectly, but if it means I get more stations that don't drop out I'll take it.

    About the only RV antenna that has remote positioning is the Winegard Rayzar Automatic for about $400. If you can manage with manual positioning I would recommend the Winegard Sensar IV. It is considered the best RV antenna. It is about the only RV antenna that receives both the VHF band and UHF band well. The Jack does a poor job of receiving the VHF band. It will work for VHF if you are close to the TV transmitter sites but is a poor choice for fringe areas.

    King might be easy but Winegard is better

    Without looking at your install specific recommendations are not easy but the Winegard Sensar IV outperforms all other RV antennas for long distance.. The King JACK is better if you are closer to scattered towers.

    Of course Omni directional (non directional or all directional) antennas are easier still but..... Very poor range..

    NONE are an exact replacement for what you have but.. a Winegard HEAD may fit upon your raiser arms. Without taking measurements I'd not be able to tell you for sure.. .I just replaced a lobbed off Winegard 3+wingman with a 4... Major improvement.

    Check out the Winegard website. They have several good antennas with various levels of service and installation effort. Some install on the roof with no additional holes through the roof and just connect to existing coax.

    Maybe not. Unless you truly have a serious need for a directional antenna in marginal areas.

    I have had really good luck with the Wineguard omni-directional "dome" style one. AIR 360+ model. No muss, no fuss, just good reception.
    That is NOT the motorized "auto-seeking" model. I had two of them go bad after only a year or so.
