Brian's posting got me fired up to build a loop, which I had been planning to do for years. Here are a few pics of the loop sitting atop my Gold Dial Silvertone model 4586.

This is a pic of the base showing the 1/4 inch rod used to allow the loop to rotate.

I used some wire from an old tv yoke coil found in my junk box. I think it was about 26 or 28 gauge. The base was the bottom from an old trophy long since discarded. Much of the hardware was also found in the junk box. About the only things I purchased were the 1/2 inch square molding pieces for the loop arms and the 1 inch square molding for the stand. The terminal strip used to terminate the loop windings was also from the junk box.

I still need to find a small wood box to mount the tuning gang in. I will stain it and mount it permanently to the base. The loop tunes very sharply and receives quite nicely. Well, that is about all for my little project.
