That would help, yes.
On my box only the lowest part ist there - everything above the screw is missing.
They seem to be thicker on the bottom because other antennas who fit in length are still loose when screwed in (with two washers).
The bottom part is a lot bigger than on other boomboxes.
I was hoping someone can point me to a seller that has new antennas in various sizes.
Antennas with black tip will be the hard to find I guess.
