my 41-81T The radio itself...
#1

I have begun to work on my 41-81T. One of the first things I noticed is that they seem to have worked the actual loop antenna into the case of the radio itself ! Also, there is a connector on the side of the radio that must be for attaching an external antenna and ground. Attached are pictures showing what I see. Has anyone else ever worked on one of these ? Does anyone have any information on these antennas? I find this a very interesting solution to the antenna problem in a portable.

This is the beginning of the thread for the restoration of the radio itself. I have made a separate thread for the making of the battery pack for it, so those interested in batteries can find it there, and not have to wade through all the chassis work. This part may be idle for a bit while I get the battery pack made. I wont be able to test my work on the chassis without it. Stay tuned....

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
