Took the 86 H&E up the Rapid to run it a bit. Like to drive them sum during the good weather if i can. But lost the up and down with the antenna on the way home. I have replace it once before but can't say when it was. So we have the drill down on this one. Rubbed out the roof and the hood while waiting for it to come on in. Then pulled it out. You can but the center mask and cable from the antannia source at a deceit price and swap them into your housing kind of a pain in the hiney to get it wined up but you only do it once unless you forget which was the mask goes back on Then you get to do it again. We tested it's operation before we put it in. imagine my surprise when it would not work back in the car. Remembering i had removed the fuse to get it to shut off helped figure out why. But it runs up and down now. So we need to think of something else to do.

I had the original factory one rebuilt from my '63 Caddy a couple of years ago. Easy to remove, but a battle reinstalling it. Ideally, a 2-man job with 1 person under the car and the other at the top of the fender. There was only 1 of me, so it was a PITA until my brother came over to help. Not remembering which way the mounting bracket was supposed to face didn't help.
 
I just found a used 1970s Cadillac Power Antenna in the garage today. If you are interested in purchasing it, please contact me by Private Message.
thanks Paul
