Antenna help on a 41-265
#1

Hi everyone! I'm new to the site, and also new to antique radios. We inherited a Philco 41-265 that was my great-grandparents and have had it electronically restored, and I restored the cabinet. I live in a small town in central IL and would like to be able to pick up WSM 650 AM out of Nashville, TN. When we first got the radio back from being restored, when it was just sitting in the kitchen to try it out, we could get it on a clear night. Now that we have re-arranged the living room for the radio to sit in a corner, we no longer can get it. I would like to run an antenna to it, and can get to the attic to run a long-wire antenna, but thought I'd get some input first. There are 4 antenna screws on the radio, with wires currently being connected to 2,3, and 4. What screws would I hook the antenna up to, and do I need a ground wire? It does bring in local stations, but between stations there is a lot of static and a constant loud hum. Thanks in advance, and any help will be greatly appreciated!
