Many boombox antennas are attached by a small screw through the pivot point. This is usually a #1 Phillips screw. Some do not have a swiveling antenna; for these you have to remove the back of the case to get at the attachment screw. Keep the screw; it's guaranteed to fit when you attach the new antenna.

The hard part is finding a replacement. If you have the pivoting/swiveling antenna, the Radio Shack 28" Replacement Telescoping Antenna 270-1405 ($5.99 online) will probably work. You might even be able to use it for a non-pivoting antenna that telescopes into the inside of the case.

The antenna has gotten broken off our scanner R1077, Serial#95108988. Can I buy a new antenna & where do I get it? Thanks for your assistance.

A replacement part for your scanner won't be difficult. I buy things like that at my local electronics supply store. I usually take in the old part, and say "I need one of these". They either have it, or can get it quickly.
My latest experience was to get a replacement circuit breaker for a Chinese generator. So these guys can get anything you need.

My antenna is broken; what kind of antenna do i need and how do get to installing it

look at what is left of the base, if there are two flats on the mast, put a small wrench or vise grip on it and unscrew it. buy a new mast at a parts store and screw it in the hole. if it is broken off totally then you are going to have to pull out the fender liner and replace the whole shooting match from underneath. generally the only hard part about that is removing the old liner hardware and snaking the wire inside the car and to the radio.

GETTING INTERNAL ERROR 80410A0B WHEN TRYING TO ACCESS THE INTERNET. HOW DO I FIX IT?

this tends to be a common problem with dropped psp's . the reason that this happens when dropped it because the error has to do with the WIFI antenna . either its a very very low signal or your WIFI antenna inside your PSP is broken . you need to call Sony's customer care and get it repaired. i would not suggest doing it your self as it is very difficult to replace the antenna and it voids your PSP's warranty.

I purchased a new sony 40 inch flat screen t.v. I

Plug it into the RF input. It should be marked as ANT (antenna), Cable, or ANT/CABLE. Do a Auto Program in the Menu and you should get channels there is a cable or antenna source.

Power antenna motor on my 3000gt is out and i need instructions

Access is behind the left hand panel in the hatch/trunk area. (Your car is left hand drive, correct? Not a GTO?) Only have to remove a few screws to get to it. Then a couple more bolts to remove the antenna motor. No, they cannot be rebuilt, and new ones from Mitsu are VERY expensive. You might want to buy a generic model from Advance, Auto Zone or NAPA.
