I know I'm late to the show, but I was wondering if someone still has one of these...I do! But it came down hard one afternoon, all is well except the crossbeam connector? It's the black piece that is in the very center of the antenna that holds the horizontal part together. I want to put this beam back up, but I didn't know how to go about making this piece OR perhaps a place to order this piece. Any information or ideas that you folks could share will be greatly appreciated....

sharpshooter:
can you post a picture of the broken part? this may help spur some ideas on repair as parts may be hard to come by.

is it the block that holds the booms?

Just FYI those 'lamp shade frames' are actually a 5/8 wave.
