Oh I forgot to ask, what DOES the original one look like, and where can I
get one?
It's not that upside down triangle is it?

Re: Need ball type antenna
This is the first I have looked in on this thread, since it
lasted this long I looked in. I have the exact same antenna
as is pictured in Bill's link, I replace it often, and
always find a replacement in the first or second Checker
(Kragen), or Autozone that I visit. It's usually about 15
bucks, but replacing from the half ball up is worth the
price, better than running new cable
