1985 TV antenna lifter motor

[mrkane1952]

Don:

Makes sense about the "up" warning light switch. A "stop" switch is
probably inviting trouble.

The rubber bumpers were deteriorated: is it possible the mechanism
needed help due to over-travel in the down position? I'm using one of
those saucer antennas with no rotator needed. It wasn't possible to
try to manually lift the assembly while activating the motor--I'm
working solo.

slipping clutch is the normal sound when reaching the stops; I would
expect it if too much resistance was being felt on the way up also.
