Compatible FM antenna for old Technica?

Compatible FM antenna for old Technica?

Hey all,

I just bought a Technics SA-GX790 receiver (circa 1995) with a matching 5 disc CD changer and everything works great, but the guy who sold it to me was missing the FM antenna. This is the model that is meant for this machine - GND 75 Ω ohm (Technics/Panasonic RSA0006). The grounding receiver on the back of the machine are two separate pegs with plastic caps -- See attached photo of how you are meant to install antenna. You wrap wire around only one of the pegs. My question is, what can I buy that is compatible with this model? The closest thing I've found is this, but it's not a wrap around wire so I would have to try to warp the metal to try to get it around the peg. There's also these, which do have the wrap around wire but I am confused by the dipole structure and if it would work with something that just wants one grounding wire. Would love your advice!
