“Okay Chicken…I’m going to try it.
So do I just squirt the lubricant in the hole where the antenna goes into?
It won’t affect the electrical wiring?

no, it won’t hurt the wiring but you need to squirt it along the shaft (re-write away folks). The aeriel is a series of concentric pipes that are chrome-plated. If the chrome has come away at any point then it will rust in place – that’s what you need to get rid off.
I suggested spraying WD40 first because that is the easiest thing to do although it is more likely to be either a burnt out motor or poor connection.
You can tell if the motor is gone by testing it with a 12V battery (the square one with the two buttons on top) and a couple of wires. Wrap the wires around the buttons on the battery and then touch the positive to the positive on the motor (it’s attached to the aeriel under the wing) and the negative to an earthing point (anywhere with bare metal on the car). If the motor whirs then it’s good.
BRG, I think there’s a detailing & wash your own car wash at the corner of Smith & 9th Sts. (in the back of the lot where all the Budget trucks are parked). Called something like Hamilton Car Care; have driven past many times, have never used it. Probably has super-vacs, too. Otherwise, for vacs, think someone already recommended the Hess at 4th & Union.
6years, a friend is working on a reunion/conference of students, teachers and others who helped organize alternate schools throughout the city as a result of the OH-B teacher’s strike. If interested, drop a line to hsfreepress40 at gmail.
