53 chevy truck...i believe the radio was restored at some point, but i can't
be positive... Here is what I did to it...replaced the two cloth covered
wires with new wire...one wire for everything, light and power, made it
easier...then I had to use to NAPA voltage reducers to get the volts down
from 12 to 6...then I ran it to the ignition, accessory terminal...
Before i installed it, I placed it on the floor of the truck, ran a ground
from a screw on the radio to the dash...put the antenna in slightly...and it
worked... but, when I placed it in the dash, without the spacers which are
now on order...it worked for a brief second and now doesn't...it powers up,
I can hear the hum...but that's it...
I appreciate any further advice you may have... To be honest I have no idea
what you mean by positive and negative ground...

Hi,
Not enough information to make a decision. Assume this is going in a 1953
truck? GMC or Chevrolet? GMC + ground, Chevy - ground.
Was the radio restored? Is the vibrator and OZ4 solid state?
Could be the antenna is shorted as it changes the situation when plugged in.
Best I can do with given information.
Ray

Received my cool original AM radio, got it working on the floor of the
truck, but when I installed it in the dash...not working, I have power,
but
no reception....When I did have it working, it seemed like the antenna
needed to be lightly placed in the hole...if I pushed it in all the way
it
didn't work...but I did try wiggling it now that it's in the dash...but
still no reception....Does anybody have any ideas?
I don't have the spacers yet that go between the radio and the dash..not
sure if that is a problem?
Help. Please!
