I need a radio antenna that will fit a 90 420sel. Mine is just about shot.

The whole enchilada or just the mast? The mast can be had for something like $25.00, super easy to replace as long as the nylon/plastic drive belt hasn't broken. If it has, then you have to carefully open the motor and remove the broken bits.

The whole enchilada will set you back much, much more than a mast.

Mike, I will need the whole unit. Mine just works when it wants to now. I can get a brand new unit through Importec.com for $160 including shipping. I have had one person that had a good used one, but they wanted like a $100 plus shipping and for the difference in price of one 13 years old and in good condition, I would pay the addional $$ for the new one. I was kind of hoping to find a good used one for around $40 or so.

I think the problem with the new units is that you loose the ability to have variable heights. Seems I remember reading that they are a 3 wire connection while the older style are 5 wire. Do search on the subject, there should be a good deal posted about it.
