We have the classic Winegard crank up wing TV antenna (12 yr old) on our MH roof. A branch caught the cable loop as it enters the antenna head and broke it, so I need to replace it. I have pulled the rubber boot off where the coax enters the rotating base and found a blob of potting goop to keep water out. Is there a coax connector under this goop so I can replace the exterior coax? Any one know? If so I will dig it out, unscrew the connector and replace the entire exterior cable. I hope it is not just a cable pass thru to the interior. If so, then I have to crimp on new connector and splice it.
I also want to replace the coax rubber boots. Are these available somewhere?
Anyone's experience with this would be appreciated.
Thank you
yes. if you replace it be sure the replacement cable is either RG-6 (preferable) or RG-59.
