- Page 2 WHEN ORDERING PARTS, ALWAYS GIVE PART NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION. Please note: In an effort to keep the price on Maco Antennas down, we have decided not to clean up all the burrs and rough edges on the parts. We recommend that you deburr and clean up each part with files, sandpaper, etc. so that they go together easily. We are aware this needs to be done but have elected not to do it to save you the money we would have to add to the price of the kit for this service.
