Stereo system - AM antenna loop needed - questions

[wetkleenex]

I have a full home stereo system and somehow lost/misplaced the AM loop that came with it.

I've done some searching for an inexpensive AM loop that I can buy as a replacement, but most are for audiophiles (I guess) because they cost upwards of $59.99 and promise to bring in signals from across the country/globe.

I just want a basic AM loop (with two wires to plug into the back of the receiver). Should, in my mind, cost no more than $5-10.

I have tried several searches--can anyone help me here? If you're a search guru and can help me, I'll give you a positive rating!

Thanks.

I just use a thin gauge wire hanger. Works great...

not that great looking....and i do not want to damage my antenna jacks. :disgust:

any stereo wire would work???

isn't there a vendor of an inexpensive AM (or FM, for that matter) antenna?

it's a loop of wire wound around a square plastic block...that's it

all there is to it

sorry for the bad pic, but all it is is just a spool of thin wire.
