Here is a picture of the technique I am using to repair the paper covering of the antenna assembly. The paper is so brittle I am reinforcing it from the inside first at the ends. I am using grocery paper sack paper folded with Elmer's glue inside, then coating one outer surface, positioning it using tweezers and my fingers and securing it with paper clips. Once I get both ends reinforced I will be able to get to the center areas of the antenna assembly outer cover and make repairs there. The whole outer paper covering is quite delicate and will not stand much handling without disintegration. Since this may have been a one year feature, I want to preserve its function as much as possible.
