Philco Safari ANTENNA SILVER
Have not had much luck with a hobby restoring old Sonys. So, I have tried my 1st Safari. Actually, I broke the rules and powered it up. Actually, everything
looks ok with source. Slight pullin at bottom. Otherwise screen looks undamaged. Case very good shape. I have located a 50 mw tv transmitter which hooks up to my Direct Tv composite outputs. Works very well. These units have popped up before and were ruled illegal. Now, they are back. At least limited back. They get around Safari lack of ext. Ant jack. You don't have to mess with leakage off a UHF convertor blonder tongue tuner. Anyway, the antenna pulls out of ball. Ball rotates fine. Ant. Has no kinks. So, how do you fix it? Help. I am trying to get parts set in silver. Would like to repair ant without going into Safari. Any repair kits? Otherwise, how do you do ant exchange? I heard caps are better then nightmare Sonys from 60's. Is this true. Last thing any old batteries out there to take out cells and rig in sub c cells? Help please. I have one Sony wiping me out with tip to restore shop. Can't handle the Safari right away. I am retired and I had to pick tv restore. I really regret not looking harder for a RCA 21" color
