Good catch!

I see nothing in the motor pulley box photo that shows some sort of decoupling to prevent some inductive coil values. This is how mobile screwdrivers antennas work to keep the unexposed coil from affecting the tuning.

However, an inductor coil wire is covered in insulated material like enameled paint to prevent any coils that may touch each other from shorting out. I would say the bare excess coiled antenna wire is automatically choked off from the antenna circuit at the point it meets the inside pulley. But then again, RF current is still flowing around it so it should have an effect. I don't know?
