41-290 FM Reception and Antenna - rd48sec - 02-18-2020
I have restored a 41-290. Everything is working except I cannot pick up any FM stations. I do get some static, but that is it.
I have attached a schematic. I believe that the FM antenna connection is below the "2" in the upper right. Can someone please confirm? Also, what can I check/adjust to try and get FM to tune in?
On a side note, I installed an auxiliary input and played the FDR Infamy speech. Chilling.
TIA

41-290 does not have FM.
It has BC and two SW.

That would explain it!
My dial face must have been replaced with a non-original at some point. Attached is a pic of mine.
