I found an antenna insulator in the beams under a floor in a house that was probably no older than the late 1930s. It's porcelain, glazed brown, marked Philco with three terminals, one for ground, one for antenna, one for "set". There is also a plastic-cased capacitor to bridge the antenna-set connection. The back is filled with "tar" or whatever you want to call that hard black fill material. Has anyone else seen one of these? I'll be happy to send photos to the group.

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