Line cord aerial
#2

Back in 1948 some manufactures use one of two methods of making a non visible ant for their fm sets. One way was to use a 3 wire line cord BUT the third wire WAS NOT connected at the wall socket. It was connected to the fm ant post on the set. So what you have is an antenna wire running along with the ac mains wires but NOT connected to them.
The other way is worst. Would use a two wire cord and connect the fm antenna post THOUGH a small capacitor like 10 or 20 mmfd. Not a great idea!
You would be much better served by just using a piece of wire away from the line cord about 28" long.
