radio aerial (antenna) won't stay in position
john zeiss wrote: We have a small portable sony radio, and it has the usual type of extendable aerial (antenna) that you get on small japanese radios. It now refuses to maintain its position at an *angle*. Slowly but surely it drops down until it reaches the horizontal position. The small screw has been tightened up, but even as tight as we think we can do it without stripping the slots in the screw head, it is not enough to *clamp* the aerial to stop it dropping down. Basically the aerial at its base is a square shape with one small bronze coloured washer each side of it and that all sits in a ' U ' shaped base with it all being clamped with a small screw. Are there any tricks you know of, to get it to behave? Thanks. |
