Looking for specific Radio Shack antenna spring

[officer1830]

Hi. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place I'm new here. I'm looking for this very specific Radio Shack antenna spring NEW OLD STOCK.. Part number 21-1118.

This is specifically for prop use. It will not be used for radio communications. The build that I'm currently doing requires this exact specific spring. Yes I know that there are other Springs out there that are similar but that won't work for me.

Unlikely radio shack made those themselves. Likely repackaged mass produced spring from any of a number of manufacturers.

It's a standard 3/8" x 24tpi 'barrel' spring. Unless you need the exact packaging, you can pick up the same spring from many dealers. You mind find someone here that has one laying around….

This is specifically for prop use.

Does it have to be that specific part for continuity reasons (i.e. to match existing footage)? As mentioned above, there have probably been multiple manufacturers of them for Radio Shack over the years, and they may vary in appearance.
