Does anyone know where I can get the rest of this? This is for a 1962 Overlander. I don't want it to use for the TV reception, just for the look on the trailer. It is about the size of a jumbo jet when unfolded... am I asking about this in the wrong area?

Hey, we use the one on our 67 all the time on trips, and it does wonders for reception! Indeed, I tested it against the reception we get here in the house, and it's far better. Of course, people kind of stare when I get the contraption out of the rig, unfold and hoist it, but I think they also appreciate the vintage feel of it, too!
My PO handed ours to me as we were leaving when we bought the TradeWind. It was oxidized but straight and intact. A few hours with aluminum polish and it's very shiny. Ours has a knob that allows you rotate the antenna from inside the coach. I hope this post encourages you to keep looking.

Freshair, Thats the thing I'm looking for... I have the crank inside that has the compass points and it rotates the shaft but the top is missing and I really would like one back on my girl. We do not have a TV in Anna and do not plan on having one, I just like the look of that big thing up there. I am weird like that.... even like the huge heat defusser on the side. I know my polar oposite is out there and hates the way it looks on his trailer. I'm out here waiting on you buddy.... Bet a good capitalist out there puts one on ebay soon.
