IMPORTANT: Before installing the antenna coil, determine if you have a 3 wire coil or a 4 wire coil. Assemble it to the
PC board as shown below. Mount the antenna assembly to the PC board.
Put the tab of the first holder into the right hole and twist the tab 90
Put the tab of the second holder into the left hole and twist the tab 90
Slide the ferrite core through the holders.
Slide the antenna coil through the ferrite core.
Note: If the end of a wire from the antenna should break off, strip the
insulation off the end with a hot soldering iron. Lay the wire down on a hard
surface and stroke the wire with your iron. The insulation should come off
very easily. CAUTION: The soldering iron will burn the hard surface that you
are working on.

3 Wire Type Antenna: Solder the 3 colored wires to
the PC board:
Wire A (red) to the hole marked
"RED",
Wire B (black) to the hole marked "BLK" and
Wire C (white) to the hole marked "WHT".
It is important to know which of the two types of the tuning gang capacitor you have received with your kit. Look at the
gang capacitor that you have.

Mount the tuning gang capacitor to the foil side of the PC board with the
AM and FM sides in the correct direction. Fasten the gang in place with
two screws from the front of the PC board. Solder the leads in place and
cut off the excess leads coming through the PC board on the front side.

Punch out one antenna shim from the front flap of the box.
Insert the cardboard antenna shim between the ferrite core and the
antenna coil. This will temporarily hold the coil in place.
