Refurbishing an A99?

You will want to clean the threads free of rust where the upper/lower sections are screw together. Lightly coat with oil.

Wash off the antenna surface and let dry, being careful not to get any free fiberglass shards in the air. Let it dry and wipe it down with a dry cotton cloth. Use spray varnish or KlearKote and coat all exposed sections. Do NOT use spray paint, as it uses metals in its formula.

Clean the outside of the SO-239 connector at the base with a wire brush, and clean the inside of the SO-239 pin hole with a small brush or scrape it well with fine sandpaper rolled into a tight, narrow tube..

Replace mounting clamps with new ones made of stainless steel.

Same process for the Imax 2000 . . .
