Can anyone tell me how far the telescope radioantenna should extend?
I cant find any images online, but mine comes out 42 cm (16,5 inch)

I believe it consist of five pieces. Should all of them rise?
It looks like part 2 and 3 are stuck (from the bottom)
I gave it a heavy dose of W40 over night but no luck

Thanks

Hi, the motor has gone on mine and when I manually pull it up I get four sections out for a height of 56 cm. There is definitely one more section that could deploy but hasn't so a total height of about 70cm feels about right.
Fixing that is a long way down my things to do list, good luck with yours.
Chris
