GE 212 FM Antenna
#9

I think it is similar, Ron. I'm just concerned that my home-made substitute isn't performing as well as the original one I lost. If the exact design isn't that critical, maybe it is OK.

I used a similar design from a Panasonic as a model. It's just a piece of flat brass with a slot at the top to go on the terminal. A thin piece of cardboard is wrapped around the power cord, and the metal is wrapped most of the way around the cardboard but not a complete loop around it.
