Looking for some clarity on the chassis hookup for antenna on this model.  The cabinet has a cloth coated wire that runs the perimeter of the cabinet with a 4 pin hookup near the top back of the chassis , and the wave antenna has a 3 wire direct connection to the back of the chassis. Do they both have to be hooked up for reception.   
Thanks for all your help.
Rick

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
