Sorry I didn't see this post earlier.

I believe it is broken. 2 years ago I tried it in the front yard and it seemed to pull everything in, I didn't note which specific channels, but someone tripped on the cable and fell 5 feet. Since that time it's been dropped numerous times. I put it in the garage, someone, presuming a roommate, moved it outside, no less than 7 times, no less falling a distance of 4 feet. A large dog has dragged it down the street, neighbors kids borrowed it and pretended it was a paper airplane, later a horse. It has a fin missing, the long arms of rolled steel are bent, and by bent I mean to the very edge of breaking off. But it still pulls in Real 13, Real 9, not Real 11, and I have a choice between real 39, or real 25 depending on where I aim it.

But this Saturday I'll follow you advise since I can say I've never done a double rescan, nor replaced the balin, and use a magnetic compass.

The kids are gone, as is that roommate.
