1986 antenna does not go all the way up

My antenna goes up about 8-12" and stops. It sounds like the motor stops too. When I turn off the radio, it does go all the way down. I figured it might be stuck/bent so I tried pulling up on it and it isn't budging. I've seen a lot of threads about them not going down, but not seeing a lot about them not going all the way up. Anyone had this problem?

DO NOT force it . Have some one gently help the antena up as you turn on the radio, If it then go,s up all the way clean the shaft with alcohol.

tried that but felt something pop when pulling it up. It now extends by manually pulling it but it's disconnected from the internal cable. Motor never stops now. Pushing it down doesn't completely co down now. About 5" still up. ....guess it's time for a rebuild kit. I pulled the relay so the motor is off.
