Philco 40-180 antennae wire?
#2

Hi Diyahnih

For starters - since you have two wires protruding from a place near the power transformer - PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Model 40-180 has a built-in loop antenna, which is shaped like a long oval tube. It needs no external antenna, even though there is a provision for one.

You really should find out what those wires are - with the set unplugged, of course - and where they come from. They should not be there.

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