Repair antenna clip?

[ditto1958]

Is there an easy way to fix this? It’s from a cheap retractable antenna wire, and the clip broke off. I suppose I could just get an alligator clip instead, but I like this one. Or, is there anywhere to buy just this part separate from the reel? If so, what’s it called?

You could solder a alligator clip to the severed wire, or just contact the radio manufacturer and buy a new one.

I’ll most likely just buy another antenna that comes with the clip attachment, because I like that style of clip. I’m sure an alligator works just as well, but then I have to work at it, lol.

You could try cracking that plastic clip holder apart along the seam. Might use a sharp knife/razor blade to open it. Wire is probably just soldered to the metal clip inside there. Would be an easy fix when you got it apart and if you have a hot soldering iron, flux and solder. Superglue the plastic cover back together.

Or,
Buy a lifetime supply of replacement clips for the low, low price of $12.99:
