If you still have the original radio and it still works it couldn't hurt. If you like listening to AM ( I do ) , my issue is with the automatic volume control. It's kind of erratic But it's nice to exercise it. My wife was amazed at how tall the antenna was when I fully extended it for her. Yup, old school..

National Parts Depot has them (shown on page 90 of their 55-57 Thunderbird parts catalog) at $4.50 each, plus shipping (which will cost more than the part).

Thank You for that info, I already have purchased from NPD. I noticed a BIG difference in the reception also no static.
