Knight Star Roamer INFO !

Pick up a Knight Star Roamer yesterday at a tag sale , seems to be working somewhat OK . On opening it up noticed that there are two connections loose .
Plus the 6BE6 and 6AK6 both tested weak almost bad on my tester . Can't find my sub book for tubes right now so they will have to wait till ......



I'd like to see if anyone can help me out and give me a clue as to were the two wire go . One is off a cap and I think it should go to chassis ( on closer inspection it looks like it should go to the switch above it ) the other one is the might be for the key (morse practice ?) .

Wanted to get some good input before just connecting anything up .



Also how good would a old whip antenna from a CB work with the unit ?

The following URL is for the instruction manual for the Star Roamer which will show the connections for the radio:
http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/knight/str-rmr/

A random 25 to 100 ft. wire run outdoors will serve fine as a substitute for a CB antenna.

If your 6AK6 and 6BE6 tubes are defective, Electron Tube Enterprises (www.etetubes.com) is a good source for replacements.

So far it's doing great , just a scratchy pot that might need to be replaced .
Seems to pull in stations on most of the bands , need a longer antenna to be sure .
Not much of a AM talk radio fan ........do like the international station though .
