Default AM/FM CB Antenna issue

My 81 has the orginal radio that was reconditioned two years ago. It is the AM/FM Cassette with CB. The coil on the antenna for the CB has cracked and causing problems with the CB. I have been unable to find a replacement - Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Mine has the same problem. I tried looking for a modern power am/fm/cb antenna to use as a replacement but haven't had much luck. The radio had also been changed to an aftermarket by the previous owner. Can you tell me who reconditioned your radio and if there are any still available? Thanks...

I sent my Radio to Ecklers two years ago. I am not sure if they still have the Radio Recondition Service or not. I believe they sent the radio to someplace in FL. They did a great job. Mine had most of the Digits burned out looked really ruff. It came back with a new display, cleaned up and everything works just great. Check either on their Website or in the catalog.

I love having mine set on Monitor, so that the radio is on , but when someone talks on the CB I hear it, and then it goes back to radio.I turn the squelch up a little over 1/2 and it really sounds great.....It also keeps those smokeys at arms length...

Mn and Tom,

I think this is what you are looking for! If so, there is only one left in stock.

Watch eBay this week for listings of NOS 78 - 82 Corvette antenna parts.
One will have the coil you need.
