Hi Paul, I have been following this post as I have a stationmaster to disassemble. Did you take a large torch to the top metal point while the guts were pulled away from the tip? When you go to reassemble, is there anything that needs to be heated again on the top?

There is no gel-coat left on it at all. I got the three screws around the perimiter of the mounting tube (aluminum) out, I found a stainless set screw in the copper tip. I also found three 7/16" hex head bolts around the perimiter of the RF connector. It appears that there is some sort of rubber bladder inside the mounting tube as well. Any clues, tips, ideas or suggestions so we can see what the internals look like before we go to the trouble of re-gelling it? Thanks Steve _____ Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
