I searched but couldn't find an exact answer.  I'm giving my son my 60B that I electrically restored some 8 years ago (I'm redoing the cabinet right now), and it runs pretty good on a short piece of wire, but he would like to place this where a wire would show and would also like to pick up a sports station in NY from CT.  To that end, I have several loop antennas salvaged from junk radios over the years and was wondering the best way to adapt one of them.  I know it won't replace a long wire, but I think it should work pretty good.  Any advice on selecting and connecting one is appreciated.
