General Lee's Radio Shack antenna

[TommyLee320]

O.K.,  So I have a question regarding The Generals screen accurate CB antenna.   I know the screen correct antenna is a Radio Shack Tear Drop antenna.  I have seen a few of these in person.  Some appear to be a very dark grey.  Some appear to be a dark brown.  I also know there are companies producing the Tear Drop as a REPRODUCTION.  Please let me know what you guys think should be correct color ???.   Thanks in advance.

Here's a screengrab from 'One Armed Bandits'. I'd have probably said black, but it would be "very dark grey" out of your choices.



I see that Roger's friends at Northeast Ohio Dukes are selling replica bases and complete antennae for $100 and $300 respectively. You can find them here.

Thank you Hoss.   I appreciate the screen grab.

Me to. Ours closed 4 or so years ago. I  bought some new CB antennas dirt cheap. (Not the ones related to this post) I should have bought more stuff, but I didn't really think about it at the time.

Any idea where I can buy a tear drop antenna for my general Lee?

Hey Jac, it's good to see you!  I'm sorry I don't but maybe some other Hazzardites might, after they see this!

Can't help you either but welcome to the HazzardNet. We look forward to hearing more from you.

I can't help much. They come up on ebay from time to time. It looks like one was sold for $150 back in June.

I bought mine off ebay years ago. Mine has the black base.
