Hi All

I managed to break the winegard crank on my 78 Birch TV antenna , The
only number I can find is on the turn plate--on the back DH-100.

If anyone has a spare they would like to sell call me at 406 431-6600.
Thanks

Steve

If this is that crank that fold and turns the antenna I also need one of
these.

Unless Jim has two of them :) , does anyone know where they can be had?

Thanks,

Desmond

It is a common part that is usually found at Camping World and other RV parts places.
I bought one recently at a local RV dealer.

I had the crank break and found that I will need to change the whole
mechanism as they no longer supply that crank.
I did not want to believe that so I ordered few handles with no result.

If it is a Winegard antenna they are readily available in a blister pack at Camping World.

You can order them from PPL

http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/tv-antennas/antenna-elevating-crank.htm

or here
http://www.rvpartscountry.com/Winegard-Antenna-Crank-Ivory_p_13335.html

or here
http://www.marksrv.com/antenna.htm

or here
http://www.rvpartscenter.com/prodselect.asp?SID=32&DID=73&CID=230

or even cheaper from here
https://www.makariosrv.com/products/Winegard-Antenna-Crank-Handle-White.html

or here is a round one that will probably work and won't break as easy and is even cheaper
http://tweetys.com/handcrankhandlekit.aspx

There are probably 50 to 100 more sites on the Internet that list them.

Looking at the mounting hole you could also probably get a window crank from a house casement window and use it.
