    It might have a standard F connector that can use any external antenna. Phila is a big radio area, so reception should be ok without one.

    Post a picture showing the "screw hole type thing", and/or post the exact model number so we can find a picture of it on the web.

    There are multiple Sony products with the words "Fm/am Sports Walkman" in the name.

    I believe it uses the earphone wires as an antenna, so I think you are euchred.
