I would appreciate it if a member can direct me to a weblink where I can find a copy of the operating instructions for a 1936 model 640. Mine is the 640B which was sold on the export market. In particular I would like to know why there are three antenna terminals, two screw type, market red and black and one compression type mounted on the top of the chassis.

Thank you

Welcome to the Phorum!!

I believe the red and black connections were for a Philco All Wave antenna, a dipole antenna later called the Philco High Efficiency antenna. The clip ANT connector was for a simple wire antenna.
Cheers,
Bob
