here's a link to a discussion about antennas on the Ford V8 club forum.

I've mounted modern jacks inside '37 radios. a modern antenna plugs right in. just connect the antenna lead to the center contact.

they're also on ebay. all from hong kong or china.

or you can use an antenna extension cord, cut off the male end and connect the wire with the female end inside the radio.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
