[QUOTE="EscapeVelocity, post: 33448, member: 3771"]I have had several of those units Tim. The older versions are better quality. The bowtie sheet metal is thicker and much much less prone to bending damage, which never straightens out nicely. Furthermore the feed lines are thicker. Even earlier models have thick wire feedlines and not the flattened sheet metal ribbons. A modern redesign would benefit from larger bows. But the old Channel Master vintage models are worth seeking out with the stouter bows and wire feedlines.[/QUOTE]
