A long while back I broke the antenna on my Motorola 120c phone. I've now
got a replacement antenna but I can't figure out how to get the old broken
antenna out of the phone. It looks like the old antenna has to be rotated
90 degrees so that the plastic tab will not get hung up but when I try to
twist it, it doesn't seem to move.

I've looked online but of course there is no information available. Can
someone please help?

Thank in advance.

If I recall correctly, you can purchase replacements on eBay.

Yeah, the 120c antenna is really fragile. Fortunately I never broke
mine!

Hmm.. all I had to do to get it out was to unscrew the base and the
whole thing came out. You might have to get some really small needle
nose pliers in there if its just stuck inside.

When mine was replaced, the tech took out a set of needle-nose pliers
which had a 90 degree bend in them. He grabbed at the bast of what was
left of the antenna and yanked it out. I was surprised that there was
no set screw.

I suspect any needle-nose pliers would work

Then he took the replacement and lined it up and shoved it in with his
thumb.

Works fine.
