Where would one acquire a compatible replacement antenna for this model of radio?
Thank you so much. The difficulty is opening the case. You explained it very well. My problem was the dirty potentiometer. I simply poured enough isopropyl alcool on it, to "wash" it, it flowed inside, turn it few times, that was all. Works as new. Thank you.
