I'm wondering if the Aussie who bid on it noticed or should be given a heads up? I can't even figure out how it got like that without totally dismantling the array.
Ray :confused:
 
I'm wondering if the seller removed it from the polystyrene packing by the antena, front and rear, which bent out of shape as a result, and either didn't realise (doubtful) or didn't re-straighten it.

...I think the crew couldn't get good signal so they twisted it...a la old TV rabbit antenna if you may,:D
 
For comparison, first one being the auction one and the other one a good one, for lack of better words.

I just looked at the above listed item on Ebay and didnt notice the problem. I was thinking about placing a bid, which only reaffirms to check the forums first. Thanks forum for making the decision for me.

Seeing Brads pics side by side I agree with you , I think he tried to remove it that way and bent both ends. At first i thought it was totally upside down!

I was going to send him an email stating that the vehicle shouldn't be considered mint due to the bent antenna.

From eBay seller: irs1968-2001 in Waukesha, Wisconsin RE: K&C set AK29(SL).
I just became a member today to The Toy Soldier Forum Thanks to an eBay E-mail I got from "Charr1402" who noted bent Antenna on Rommel's Halftrack. No I did NOT know it was bent! No doubt it happened taking it out of box. However, problem was easily solved. I just bend it a bit back into proper position. No big deal & no harm done, but thanks for telling me via the above noted Forum member. Gary M.
