46-1201 No antenna (Sorry, I had 1601 in the title originally)
#2

First, I am not familiar with that radio, but here are some ideas. All of them involve your making a back for your radio. You can do this by cutting one from thick pasteboard, or cut one from masonite you get from a home supply store. You actually have several options. You could just buy a modern ferrite loopstick, connect it to the existing leads, and mount it to the new back using some plastic wire ties. If it is the tuneable kind you can adjust it so it gets the best reception. You could also cut a form from cardboard, slightly smaller than the radio back, and cut slots around the edges, an odd number, and wind wire around it, weaving it in and out of the slots,, about 60 to 70 turns (you can always remove turns if there are too many) in a similar manner to what is outlined here:

again, mounting it inside the new back. Hope this helps.
