When there is a broken trace, you can bridge the gap with wire. Sometimes that means soldering the ends of a wire to the next nearest joint, though in some instances you may be able to salvage the ends of the trace where it broke/corroded away and clean them up enough to solder a bridge. Short of finding a chassis out a junker, that would be the way to go. I wouldn't hesitate to try.

As for the antenna, measure the dimensions in its collapsed state. I haven't shopped for one in years, but I would think eBay would be your friend. Universal replacements used to be available from Radio Shack (and may very well still be on their website, for all I know!) The biggest trick is they tended to be too long/short or have the wrong mount.
