Well first off your little GE 50 doesn't have an IF adjustment as it isn't a superhet. It's a TRF set with one RF amp a Detector and two audio stages. Your right that it never had a loop. It had a small roll of wire that was to be use as a antenna. I had one years ago. Cute but not a very good performer at all.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
