SWEET RADIO !!! I don't think that was any standard antenna, but an early add on to eliminate the need for an outdoor antenna. I was told about trying this by an elderly friend when I was a kid, and have used very similar antennas on consoles myself with very good results. It is definitely something I would keep, although I might rebuild it with new cloth covered wire. It will be quite directional however, so you will find stations toward the front and back direction of the receiver will be stronger than those coming from either side.
