Hi All! First: Thank You everyone for helping with the antenna - I found
one!

I am trying to find a 1x2 plate, modified with RED HOOK.
It is the type that fits in     (Bricklink description)     Slope 45,
2x3x1 1/3 double w/ hook.
It can be found in set # 217 big people - circa. 1977. It has a TAB on
the end NOT a loop found on the more common type hook. It also has two
studs on BOTH sides. The more common version has studs on one side only.


I just need the red hook part of the assembly. I haven't found one on
Bricklink.
If anyone has one they can >part<  with, please e-mail me (I don't have
online access).  An image close-up with the tab end of the hook near the
camera so I can see if it is the correct one would be very helpful.

Thank You everyone for your help!

FWIW (Don probably won't see this, without online access), but the element
he's talking about came attached to a boom, 2x3 base, double sloped, with
two "arms" that held the hook-tab from either side.  3 other sets had this
red boom/red hook combination:

2x3 Sloping Brick, Top Boom with Hook: Red/Red

Qty Color Set  U.S. Set Name                Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ---------------------------- ---- -------------
1   *     642  Tow truck and car (European) 1978 LEGOLAND Town
1   *     6363 Auto Repair Shop             1980 LEGOLAND Town
1   *     6679 Tow Truck                    1980 LEGOLAND Town

Then around 1995, TLG rereleased this part combo, this time with a grey hook:

2x3 Sloping Brick, Top Boom with Hook: Red/Grey

Qty Color Set  U.S. Set Name     Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ----------------- ---- --------------
1   *     6562 Gas Stop Shop     1995 Transportation
1   *     6337 Fast Track Finish 1996 Race
1   *     6548 Octan Gas Station 1997 Town Jr.

I personally don't have any of the hook in red, only grey, but hopefully
this will help other sellers out there to know what's being discussed.
