This should be simple, I just want some guidance. 

I picked up a 46-1601 (EDIT: NOPE, A 1201) for free last weekend. I did a recap of all the electrolytics today, and the buzz is now gone. 

Unfortunately, the antenna is MIA. The two thin wires from the chassis are hanging out there, but there is no trace of the actual antenna. 

What shall I do? If this was your radio, what solution would you suggest? I'm thinking I can just make a loop with thin wire and call it a day, but maybe there is a more elegant solution? 

Thanks, 

Mark
