Rock Auto doesn't show that AC Delco PN.

Odd looking RF cable?

Neither of the two units from Amazon & Parts Warehouse look like my stock GM.
I just sold the core locally & can take a pic before I ship it.

I was thinking a little pulley system in the car would do the trick. Bunch of string & some assorted items like zip ties & it would last forever!!

We could go back to that P.O.S. windshield antenna where the station disappeared every you went around a corner.

You know, I think that the car that needs one does have a windshield antenna!  Never noticed a plug hanging, tho...Most of the ones I had worked okay...not exactly a plethora of stations to choose from out here.  Maybe I could mount a flowervase in the hole in the fender

Having a motor rewound in the usa can be expensive.  The oem units come from china and they get paid a eggroll a month.

Many, Many, Many years ago when I finished and left the USMC I worked in a electric motor shop in Long Island NY. I still keep contact of the owner and I will ask him about these little electric antenna motor. The worst he could said it will be expensive to rewind, but then again what is the cost of rewind against a new one that still has to be modify to fit.
 
Anyone has any ideas of what type of compatible cars that uses the electric antenna to the TR?  I'm not talking about the antenna itself, maybe do a motor switch.

In my case the motors weren't the issue it was always the cable inside that snapped. I think there are more issues of that than the actual motor burning up?

This thread started with motor being burnt and no replacement, since you asked about the nylon cable then read this. I was lucky to repaired my nylon cable, but if the cable do snap again then I do the following TurboBuick member did as he replaced his TTA electric antenna nylon cable with 3/32 galvanized bare cable for less than $2.00.

Today I contact my friend who owes the Electric motor shop, and I asked him if he rewind alternator? He doesn't work on any DC only AC, but he did mention to try a place that rebuilds starters and maybe alternator. I don't know any place in SC since my moved from NY as I'm still GPS the surrounding areas. If I do find such a place I will post for all to know.
