Antenna Base Screw for I-Com R3

[The-Analog-Kid]

I was wondering if someone could help me with this dilemma. I have an old ICom IC-R3 that still works great. I pulled it out of the closet and dusted it off after more than 2 years of non use. I had long forgotten that the antenna base screw worked it's way out of the hole, and the antenna wobbles all over the place when I move the unit around. I was never able to find a place that sells a perfectly fitting replacement screw. If there is anyone out there that has gone through the same dilemma, and WAS able to find correctly fitting replacement screw that they bought online, any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

Actually, it ended up being ICom Canada that came to my rescue. For any of you that are missing this screw, here's the info to get another one. You can send a direct email to "Laurie" at parts@icomcanada.com.
The part number for the screw is 8810009221 and the price is $0.22 each. They will send the screw right over to you. I hope this info helps someone who has also been looking for this screw.

What about 'shipping & handling'?

Most times that is several times more than the items cost. How did they treat you S&H wise? But still good to know where to get the parts now, and at a good price. Thanks for the heads up.
