OK.  When I connect the bulb wire to positive it now lights (had a bad ground before).  When I connect the radio and the bulb wires to positive at the same time the bulb goes out and the radio wire sparks.

Moved car outside to an open area and hooked up the radio to power, speakers and antenna.  While searching for a station I found one but couldn't find it again.  I turned a small screw located below the tuning button all over the place and kept trying to find that station again, but never did.
