Here are some greeble parts for the walkie talkie as seen in Skeleton Crew. Also included is a PDF for the lower label.

I designed the antenna-related parts to be used with a generic magnetic pick-up tool as replacement antenna - other sizes of antennae or tools might not fit the parts, but the axial holes can be enlarged to size with a drill bit. To mount the antenna, I flipped the pocket clip around, shortened it, and drilled a hole for the mounting screw (see pic). This is the pick-up tool I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RRVV7PS

The vintage walkie's plastic can be a little brittle, so I decided to use the antenna bushing without tube to reduce stress on the thin plastic around the antenna (mine was cracking). I reinforced the antenna mounting further inside the shell using a section of tube cut from the regular bushing part.

There are two versions of the bar slider greeble - one is a single piece and one is split so that the bar and slider are separate pieces. Note the bar greeble in the photo of the finished walkie talkie is an older draft where the bars are just a little too thick \u2013 the STL uploaded is the thinner version as shown in the render.

The red LEDs are backlit with one of these flashing COB circuits: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806171752709.html I had to trim it a little shorter to fit. A latching power switch was glued just below the push-to-talk switch, with a CR2032 battery holder located in the original battery compartment.
