I am trying to restore my neighbor's 39-45 and I think I am getting close to the point of powering it up. She is refinishing the cabinet and brought the speaker panel to me. To my horror, the antenna on the back of the panel consists of about ten laps of bare galvanized "fence" wire in a triangle supported by cup hooks. I very much doubt that this is the original but have no idea what the OEM antenna arrangement might be. I know that wire gauge isn't important for an antenna, and I do know that it has to be insulated, and probably more of a square or rectangular shape (using the corners of the board). I can guess that part, but I don't have any idea what the total length of the wire should be.

Any help would be appreciated,

Mike
