Broken Radio Aerial...

Post by Aunt Trumpet » Sun Oct 31, 2010 6:17 pm

Hi,

Had a bit of a misshap last week and ended up snapping the radio aerial.... :evil: ..Had a quick look on the web and new ones seem to come in at around £35+P&P... :shock:

Anyone have or know of where I can get a second hand one from?

Any decent Bongo Breakers about?

Cheers for any help... 8)

Several breakers shown on Home Page.
You could also replace it with a bee sting aerial. Just do a search for aerial and you should find plenty 8) You may have to search for a well-known brand of washing powder - Ariel :lol: :lol:

you might want to see this thread here: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... al#p441946


I replaced mine with a halfords 10 quid jobbie, which I actually think looks better than the original. However, I had to spend another tenner getting the tap tool to create the screw thread!
