The resistor for the loop gain goes mid point in the loop. On the orignal AMB supplied loops its potted in a "black box". The loop its self can be made easily.

The interface box on the end of the co-ax is more difficult... I believe its an impedance matching transformer amonst other bits inside. It means that the signal voltage is stepped up so that the co-ax is running at a higher level than the the loop to improve signal/noise ratio and reduce rogue transponder pick-ups from the co-ax.
