I had some spare time on a rainy Saturday afternoon and went through some surplus.
I found a MN-20E loop antenna and MN-52H controller I bought from G&G radio in 1982.
(The recipt was still in the box). I intended to construct a VLF loop preamplifer with this loop
but things like marriage, career, etc. got in the way.
I'm back on the project. The antenna has a 6 pin Cannon connector. Would anyone know the
designation or pinout of this connector or have a schematic of the loop? I'll check with William Perry to
see if he has the plug.
Anyone remember G&G radio? In the 1960's, the showroom was located on Warren street in downtown
Manhattan. As a teenager, I used to visit it along with the remaining surplus stores such as Leeds Radio
and Barry Electronics to pick up my share of command sets and surplus parts.
I started working downtown in 1976 and the store was repalced with an electronics retailer..
I found out G&G was operating out of the second floor. I visited the store and it probably hadn't changed
since the 1940's. Lots of surplus radios, radar sets and mine detectors in the original boxes.
I should have picked up lots more besides the loop antenna but surplus didn't have the mystique
it has today.
Thanks,
