Picked up a sad looking 40-120 off of eBay (as if I need another project to work on Icon_lol

) Remembering the Charlie Brown holiday special from my youth, I told my wife "it's not a bad radio, it just needs a little love". Not sure how many more times that's going to work with her though.

Havent removed the chassis from the case and probably won't do so for awhile, but it appears that a loop antenna is wound on a wooden frame in the back of the cabinet, possibly mounted to the chassis. There also appears to be antenna loop wires also that are sort of draped across this coil as if they were pulled out or whatever. Does anyone have specifics on what the loop should be / look like as I'm sure that Philco wouldn't have put out a radio looking like this. Thanks in advance (will be placing an order with Chuck soon for prints)
