GE model J-805 radio
#14

Your antenna is gone?

If so, you have a problem.The am antenna is special.
It's a special 4 wire loop antenna in a barrel.
One SW antenna is under top.
Other SW antenna would be a wire you connect of any legnth.
My finnish, except on top, is original to factory.
I touched up top.
Original finnish is done in light brown Walnut, with grain filler, then, several coats of gloss lacquer.
Watch out for rubber wiring, cloth wires tend to rot, on-off switch is easy to break.
Length of antenna wires, plus, placement of same is critical.
Mannual makes clear ALL alignment MUST be done fully installed in cabinet.
This is extremely critical.
The push button tunning will be the hardest to do in cabinet.
It is done from the front, and, as said, radio must be fully installed.
When finnished, it is a great playing radio.
