I can't find a replacement antenna for my old school zach morris style cell phone anywhere. There are no part suppliers who sell these huge replacement antennas on the internet. Searched many times to no avail..anyone know where I can find a replacement?

I made the mistake of letting a friend borrow the phone as a prop for a Zach Morris halloween costume a few years ago and it came back looking like this.

Also,your friend is a jerk for not replacing or offering compensation

combination of the two...its a fun conversation piece to leave laying around..found a site that use to sell replacements for 8.99 but all it says is *OUT OF STOCK*

check out the flea market

they have a couple booths with tons of old electronics, im pretty sure i have seen bag phones and old analog cellphones before....

Can you imagine the battery life these phones would get with modern batteries? You would charge the thing monthly.

What network would this thing work on?

5/18/2011 5:46:31 PM

probably any GSM network, like AT&T

that phone is analog. there's no way it could connect to an edge or 3g infrastructure. you'd need super old towers to connect to

I'm surprised you haven't checked eBay. They're all over the place.

5/19/2011 8:21:34 PM

thats not oem...and they aren't "all over the place"

"Hey buddy grab the cellular phone out of my glove box for me"

the crazy thing is these phones go for a steady $50 + on ebay..i'm sure they will only get more and more collectible...i had access a ton of them about 8 years ago and shouldn't of thrown them away..hind sight is always 20/20
