Where's a good web/mail-order source for replacement telescoping
antennas? MCM used to have a very wide selection, and Radio Shack
stores had a narrower but not so bad selection, and between those two I
could usually find near-exact replacements, but they seem to have
greatly cut back in the past couple of years. (Either that or I am
completely unable to find their old selections via their
hard-to-navigate web pages.)

Never take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time!!

I have about three bins FULL of new and some used telescoping antennas. I
got them a few years back from a HUGE lot of stuff I bid on at an auction
where an electronics repair facility went T.U. If there is anything in
particular anyone is seeking I may have it being I have quite an assortment.
Feel free to contact me.

Feel free to contact me.

For the OP: I was in the same fix a few weeks ago WRT a bunged-up
telescoping antenna. After exchanging some dimensions and a few
pictures, Barry was able to find me one that was almost a perfect fit
for the 20-year old original.

For Barry: Have you thought of putting up just a small web page with
your contact information? I wanted to respond to the OP earlier but all
I have is your e-mail address and didn't want to post that.

It amazes me that people on these groups "need" items and someone more than
likely has what they seek yet they do not contact you. Worse yet there email
is one of those off the wall you figure it out ones that bounces as
non-existent or they do not include an email. What a waste of time..

With all the spam out there, I can sympathize with the lack of wanting to
use an e-mail address... I used mine, but started getting a ton of Spam.
Luckily, Norton and some filters have knocked a lot of it out - close to
about 99%. I set up a Yahoo account to accept inquiries. It is a pain in the
ass to a degree - to have to go to a separate mail box on logging in, but
beats a ton of spam. Any e-mail sent to the Yahoo account with other than
the title of the post or subject, you just ignore and blow off. Makes it
much easier to sift through all the crap. It beats my personal e-mail being
bombarded by crap. To not include any way to reply, just tells me they
didn't need the item that bad.
