Looking for Finco Stinger

[fatdude1]

Does any of you know of or heard of an antenna called the finko stinger. Maybe its not spelled right. But do i remember them to a point. They where a ground plane that looks like the maco V5/8. Just wondering maybe someone has one or the paper work for one .


thanks fatdude1

Well you almost had the spelling right, they are called Finco

Here is a link for a manual for the Stinger

I had a Finco Stinger 840 many,many years ago.It was a dual polarity yagi-quad basically like a Wilson Shooting Star or Moonraker Four.It had a square boom so element attachment was very good and easy.

I had a Finco stinger 3 element with a square boom in 1979.Great antenna and all measurement were predrilled .Wish i never sold it.

finco

I had one for about ten years, until I moved and couldnt get it all apart<weather, rust etc>, a great antenna, I think the company went out of biz in the early seventies

doctor :shock:

 

[fatdude1]

yes they were talked really well

what i am thinking of doing is maybe building one from parts from other antenna's after all parts are parts. lol







thanks for all the input on this

Sorry to bump but I just got an 840 that was pulled from a tower in 1992 and stored since. I gave the manuals and everything for it. Going to try and install it this year!

There was a 5 element finco on a 60 foot tower near me. It ended up getting destroyed in a small tornado.
