Base Avanti Moonraker 4

[Ranch55]

Have an old original Moonraker 4 looking for a new home.
All parts are there. All 4 hubs are good, no cracks.
Needs some cleaning up and TLC. Needs all new hardware.
It is about 35 years old and was still up and operating until last December 2018 when we took it down.

I have talked to several folks. And I have also researched some.
These antennas seem to sell for quite a bit. New old stock is very high dollar.
I have been advised by several folks that they believe $250~$350 is a very, very fair price.

So, $250 plus shipping UPS or FEDEX ......
I do not know shipping costs yet. Would have to box it up and take it to them to find out.

They are/were nice antennas. There are current offerings that are better/cheaper.

I sold mine for 250 with new stainless hardware and cleaned it up with some steel wool. It went as soon as I put it up for sale. Yours should go quick. What are you, or did you replace it with, Steve?

I liked my moonraker in 1978 long gone there is better? The maco 4?

The antenna does not actually belong to me. Belongs to good friend of mine who is going to be putting up, probably a M104C ......
We took it down a year ago and it is now in my shop.
If I did not currently have a good operating beam antenna up on the tower, I would do the TLC required, with new stainless steel hardware, new gamma matches, and get it up.
But I'm not going to undo what I currently have in operation. It is working too well for me to mess with it.

The antenna should move fast at that price. Good luck.

Yes it is definitely worth the price. They are a very nice antenna.
