Looking good! That antenna rod can be harvested from any Sony AN-16 rabbit ear set, and they're easy to find. It unscrews from the ball base, so you don't even have to take the handle apart.
Tip on restoring those Sony plastic cabinets: Those satin-finish silver colors can be had from any auto paint store who sells SEM brand spray can touch up paints. They have a dull finish paint like that for car trim, such as plastic radiator grilles and hubcaps from the 80s & 90s. When you see how well it works, you'll know why it's $13/can. The trick is to apply as many as 6 or 7 very VERY light coats; about 5 minutes apart. The first coat should be so light that it shouldn't even show.
