Novak RX Antenna Wire

[slotcarrod]

Has anyone found a source for a exact or close copy of the green Novak antenna wire? I need to restore a few RX's.

I also need to find some green wire. With Radio Shack gone, it feels like there's a void in the electronics repair world. I've got a receiver coming with only a nub remaining and I'd like to fix it right.

I've ordered some 24awg and 26awg green, stranded wire from Pololu. After testing the Rx, it seems to work well. It appears someone has purposely added a connector to. Any idea who makes (made) this gold plated connector? If I can find a mating fitting, that might be an option rather than soldering the new wire directly to the circuit board.

Deans loaded antennas come with a gold plated connector, could be what they were using.

I picked up a Deans antenna to try out. I'm not sure that what I got is the right model with the right antenna length, but it might be good enough. If not, the wire I ordered is a good color match and 26 AWG seems like the right size.

Not sure how cost prohibitive it is to get this to you? I have 2 same condition
