The chassis has three terminals marked red, black and gnd. Was there an antenna in the cabinet, or was it sold seperately?

I had one of these sets as well. No internal antenna, however the previous owner, an old engineer with WGN Radio in Chicago, custom built a loop that surrounded the bottom of the cabinet. It looked and worked quite well. If I still have photos of the set I'll post so you can get an idea, maybe build your own.

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