Yes friends my antenna is stuck in the lowered position, a GE Superadio. I have freed some sections so I have it partially out. I have sprayed with some contact cleaner and cleaned some scum off the sections I can get at.
There are a couple of sections still not free to extend, I have tried to shoot some lube in and let sink in to free up, I also use a rubber type jar opener which can help get a better grip when pulling, I do not wish to pull too hard or bend it.
I am also a bit leary of collapsing it as it has been a struggle to get it extended, I was wondering if there is a preferred lubricant? Any had a similar problem?
Thanks.
Paul
