In the process of finishing up a restoration of a Philco 40-145 and am trying to build the missing loop antenna usually attached to the back cover. Have already reproduced the back cover and the frame for the loop antenna, but don't have enough details regarding the directions to loop the wire, the number of loops, or how they connect to the terminal board and variable cap mounted to the frame of the antenna. Used several videos and still images available online to get a basic idea, but there are some specific details missing regarding the path of the wire loops. Would greatly appreciate any assistance, i.e. photos of an original antenna or maybe a hand-drawn schematic. I've attached a pic showing my progress so far.
