[TowerTalk] Antenna launcher help needed

[Dave Thompson]

I bought a nice antenna launcher for my wire antennas around October last year on Ebay. I was trying to launch a antenna over a tree and i kept adding pounds to the pump but it went 30 then 35 feet but I need 50 feet. I was ready to try again but once you put in the air you turn a blue valve and it shoots the fishing line out with a 2 oz weight on the end.  Now the blue valve won't allow me to turn it horizontal so I can pump it up.

This launcher was about $120 and is long and uses a Jebco reel and 2 oz weight.  I looked through the papers and the XYL recycled the box a few week ago. I contacted EBAY and since I bought it they passed me to PayPal Credit.  PayPal credit only stores a total owed so they are no help.  I looked through my EBAY e-mails and did find the transaction.

Anybody know the seller? I tried completed item and sold items but the first part of October has dropped off so no help.  The reference list is no help as they say within the last month and then withing 6 months but no date and only the seller eBAY user name so that does not help.

The launcher is about 7 feet long, has a top piece that id about 1/2" diameter and a lower piece of about 1 or 1/2 " diameter. You attach the pressure gauge at the bottom anf there is a valve to insert the air. The more air pressure the higher it goes but the builder sai 60 pounds is the maximum.  It looks like white PVC tubing.
