You might want to search for a writeup Craig Mack did about changing the antenna to a Supra style antenna. Very sharp looking (I thought).

excuse my ignorance but I had searched 'antenna' and found lots of irrelevant threads, if someone could link me to the mentioned thread, it'd be great.'

When my antenna on myu 94 Accord broke 3 times in a row I went with a NON power one I got for $20. Its shorter and rubbery and actually gave better reception. May not be your cup o' tea just thought I'd throw it out there as an option. A little less work too.

ok, i'll tell ya... take ya about 10 mins
Get a oem antenna mast.
Unscrew and remove the antenna nut, you'lll need snap ring pliers or an antenna tool.
Have someone turn the ignition and radio on.
remove antenna.
with new antenna, the notch side of the track should face the rear of car.
insert track till ya can insert no more.
turn radio off.
turn on, turn off.

Mine was broken too, the dealer bought a new one but didn't have the time to replace it, he said I can come back to have it done but it's an hour and half drive away, so I was contemplating doing it my self.

wow...a few irrelevant threads here.
what do you mean by antenna broken? Does the motor still work? If so, you only need a "mast", which's about $25 on ebay. If the motor's dead, then a new ebay motor's about $60...same price for a used one from a junk yard.
If your motor still works and you don't need it anymore, I'd like to take it off your hands.
