Yep the antenna is missing from mine. However a friend who owns an antique radio shop and repairs and refinishes them said if he could fabricate or get me one for not too much money. The set itself is quite nice on the eyes, few minor scrapes nothing major. I love the look of it. The knobs have been replaced but don't detract from it much but I will probably get the more authentic looking wooden knobs for it from my friend. I believe the finish on mine is also original. It's my first antique radio purchase and the repairs don't seem too major according to my radio expert friend. For now I'm happy just looking at it. I will upload some pics soon so you can see.
