Majestic info
#6

<Still wondering what was attached to the top of the tuning condenser and where do the wires go to the buttons

In a typical set up since it looks like your pb all have station allocations the bandswitch would select between the pb or dial tuning. This switch would select between connecting the tuning cap's ant section or the trimmer on the pb and would switch between the tuning cap's osc section or the osc trimmer on the pb assembly.
I looked though a couple of yrs of Rider's in the Majestic section to see if there was some other set that had pb. I see that Majestic took a page from Crosley's obfuscation handbook drawing tube upside down and not marking connections with a dot or hump. Didn't see much that is like your setup on a different chassis.

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!
