My 42-1015 has the old FM band that actually picks up some stations clearly at the left side of the old band.  The FM antenna that wraps around the cabinet used to connect I believe in the 4-prong spot near the middle of the back of the chassis.  Mine is not connected and I do not have the 2 'prong' receptacle to attach it.  How did this connect?  Did it connect one end of the antenna for signal, and the other a ground?  There are 4 openings, 2 top, 2 bottom on the input area.  It sounds louder when I put one of the wires into the left top opening.

I already have a Pilot that will work with the phono attachment, I just would like to have the old FM band play loud and clear on the 3 stations that it picks up which are actually now in the 102 area.

Any suggestions, comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
