i need a vz2000 ariel ,,,,,, as i have a bucket load of spares for these machines i am willing to swap any single part from my spares box for a nice ariel to fit a vz2000

does it have to be an original antenna?

dont have to be original , just identical closed length so as it snaps into the retainer nicley when not in use ,

I would give you the antenna (less the stub) off mine which I believe is original for those pesky slide button caps which are like, almost all broken.

I have a battery door for. The v if anyone needs one

i may see if i can get some slide buttons replicated from the ones i have ,
i find that i have bits of button stuck inside some of my sliders , , i tried to pick it out with a pin but no use,,, so i am now thinking of moving good sliders from the worst looking box and soldering them in to replace the ''broken off inside'' sliders on a better box,
