...oh, the whoa's of a novice...]
The antenna extension of my 1971 280S was broken off. Wanting to try and replace it, I was loosening the nut holding the antenna assembly against the front fender, and yep, just as soon as it was loosened, the whole thing fell down into the fender well. [where it yet remains]
1. When I get it out of there, will I be able to replace the mast on the original assembly? Is there a universal extension that will repair the antenna, or will I have to buy from MB?
2. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but do most older Merz enthusiasts think that the Becker radio
should be kept and that it is a decent radio? I can handle having only a radio if the sound quality is pretty good. Is the radio good enough to drive decent [& four] speakers? Any precautions?
3. Is there something I can do to try and fix the Odometer that rarely turns?
Thanks very much.
