I would disconnect the loop and clip in one from an old tube set. The resistance is somewhat unimportant it's inductance that matters. As long as you have the proper of inductance L (loop) and capacitance C (tuning cap) to resonate @ the frequency shown of the dial. L/C ratio may be a bit off when using a random loop meaning you may get much better sensitivity @ one end of the band vs the other but still can be a good troubleshooting tool.
When my pals were reading comic books
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.

Now I think I've got!
