Cool, but did they both supply reception to the radio...
I have seen twin power but assumed the owner did that. Didn't know it was available from the factory.

Thanks, Bill, that was what was wiggling on the cob webs upstairs, just one reception lead. Good to know some of what is stored in the attic is still, somewhat, accurate. I've never been known as a person with a "photographic memory"...
