I just acquired a CPRC-26 radio with matching handset, though an online Goodwill auction of all places. It is missing an antenna. Do any of y'all have a spare to part with?

It has crystals in five out of six sockets, but sadly, none of them are for 51.0 MHz. There's also a rubber cap blocking the battery pin marked "-3V"; are there variants which eliminated the need for a -3V bias supply, perhaps? This is my first CPRC-26, and I don't know much about them yet. I'm interested in making this rig operational, though its reliance on sealed modules might make it difficult enough to repair (if needed) that it ends up being a cosmetic display piece for a long while.
