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.
