Have a restored 38-610 console and am looking to connect antenna(s) for broadcast and shortwave reception.
Looking at the antenna terminals, have a "red", "black", "grnd" and "4". Labeled 1,2,3&4 respectively.
Currently have a jumper-bar between "black"(2) and "grnd"(3). As I recall, the jumperbar had something to do with a "short" antenna. Not sure of what I will use for antenna(s) but need to understand what the set wants first...
Also what impedance does the radio look for? 50 ohms?, 300?

Any info appreciated.
