| Post subject: | Co-ax antenna cable repair? |
Hi y'all, the end of my antenna cable has split and is now loose, and I can't pull in any radio stations hardly because of it. I tried pulling the whole end piece apart with a pliers and redoing the end but the single wire in the middle only slides back into the very end of the plug without having a way to solidly hold it there. Now I'm only pulling in about one station at a time. Is there any place I could buy new ends to completely remake the end or is there something I could buy to splice a new end from a different vehicle in? Possibly opening up the ability to use different radios from different makes of cars? (I kind of miss having my tunes) |

The antenna cable end is a universal type. Probably best to go ahead and put in a new antenna. |

For financial reasons I would like to just fix the end on the co-ax cable I have. Is there anywhere I could find splices or new ends to rebuild the plug in? |

You might try radio shack or a electronics store. If its standard cable. |

Would a splice from tv coax cable work on this type of cable? or is it completely different? |

It will work if put in properly. Still better to replace the antenna coax and all. Frank |

TV cable is not even close to the Antenna cable. I know they "look alike" but the cables impedance is very different. Radio Shack use to sell the end piece-it is called a Motorola plug (male). You can get it off of almost any car built- with more wire attached so it will be easy to splice it. Lynn |
