I searched for my stock of ferrite aerial assemblies. Found some too, but none would fit on the ferrite in this set.
So taking Mike's excellent advice I wound a new long wave coil, 240 and 24 turns, with some old single cotton covered wire I had lying around. Just random wound like the original.
Fitted it in the set, and by a process of elimination and much trial and error got the connections correct, hurray, Long Wave Works!
I still could not work out where the connections go in relation to the chip, its wired nothing like the Thomson diagram I found.
I don't think its the same chip. Impossible to be certain as I still have not seen the printed circuit side of the board.
No FM though and that may be a real challenge. Just a background hiss, no trace of a program
