This is the one I've been working for the last week or two. Got all of the electronic problems sorted and plays well with the loop on top. Selectivity  is nothing to brag about if you have two strong stations within 20kc of each other. The loop helps null out the weaker station. Doing OK for a 91yr old set!
That is one heck of an antenna!
It pulls the stations in pretty good too...  It's got a little too many turns as it self resonates at about 900kc.
I was looking for a post for Kevin's 38-116 question and I ran across this about the loop and thought I add it.

I love it! I was into building loops for a bit. I've had them pull in stations just sitting on top of a radio. Vintage wireless.  Icon_razz
