Does the antenna suppose to arc when touched to antenna? Trying to use old outdoor tv antenna.
Well it can. The Capacitor block #61 (ac line filter)provides a path for small amount ac voltage from the ac line to the chaiss. The primary of the antenna coil is connected to the chaiss and the antenna. If you ground the chaiss to a water pipe or radiator that should eliminate that issue. Your tv antenna lead is it part of a cable system or is it the flat 1/2" wide two conductor stuff (300ohm twin lead)?

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
