Default Tactic TTX-240 Replacement Antenna HELP

Hi guys.....I have a Tactic TTX-240 transmitter with a broken antenna. I have already tried the distributor Hobbico and they basically shut to door on me..."antenna not available and cant help". Does anyone here know where I can get one?
Thanks!

At $65 for a new radio and receiver, it doesn't make sense to carry spare parts for the radio. The receiver is worth $25. So the radio is $35. A replacement antenna would cost that much. I know I've paid $30 for replacement antennas for my airtronics and ok propo radios.

plz show a pic how its broken. If its 2.4 ghz very little wire is actually needed as 80% of the wire is shielded and doesn't actually act like an antenna. The actual antenna is that little silver piece at the end

I'm gonna guess that it's just the plastic antenna housing that's broken, not the actual wire.  Am I right?
If so, don't worry about it.  Stuff the wire into the housing and glue it back together.  If that means you can't fold the antenna anymore, so what?.  Long as it works.
