Thanks John and Larry for the help. I have a few pages of a shop manual with the antenna, I'll have to see what year manual it is. Looks like I may be able to narrow it down by checking the wiring.

mwritter.....yes, you can identify by the number of wires in the harness. Three wires, black, white, and orange is the fully automatic early 1959 type. Two wires, black and white is the late 59-60 manually controled type. I have one of each. The fully automatic uses a relay, a different type dash switch, and a more complicated wiring scheme. There was also a third type that was specific to the Safari, as there was much less room to mount the body and motor behind the quarter panel. It's easy to check the operation. Ground that short wire, and touch either of the other wires to the positive side. One will either rise or lower the mast. When it's fully raised or lowered it will make a clunking sound......John
