OK  ours has  the  place to put the look in the   back.
 
It  may be  fired up someday but  for now when in building  would  be under 
glass.

I thought I'd mention that  the Army also had a non-loop version of the 
basic radio. 
It was the BC-156. There  was a third one, with a different freq range, but 
 without 
consulting my manuals I  don't recall if this third one was a loop model or 
not. No  – 
wait – it WAS a loop model,  because it's covered in the same manual as the 
SCR-131. 
The non-loop BC-156 just  uses a standard LC circuit for the #10 tube 
transmitter.   
The antenna is tapped right  off the coil. So, until you find the actual 
antenna,  which 
will occur "never", or  fabricate one yourself, you could incorporate a 
tuned  circuit, 
IF you wish to operate the  set. ( But I gather, you will not be operating 
the set.  ) 
I presume the BC-156 was  intended for longer range work. The one vet told 
me that 
clipping a dipole antenna  on the BC-148 / SCR-131 loop antenna gave 
something like 
15 miles range.  (  Maybe he said 35 miles, but I will go with 15, and 
until I find  any 
notes I made, I will stay  with the 15 figure. )
