RCA K60 Console

[Jonathan]

Well, I'm taking a break from the 630TS. I recently got an RCA K60 console from here. During shipping the dial glass broke, but I can easily glue it back together. The chassis is an RS-415B, and it has one of those strange dial systems it seems like the chassis needs to be in the cabinet to string the dial. The presets were those buttons with set screws that would move the rotor of the tuning condenser a certain amount. I removed those and really don't want to put them back in. Any harm by not putting those back in?

Also, it has 3 antennas for the 3 bands it receives. The one antenna that plugs in the top of the chassis is nothing but some wire strung around the perimeter of large piece of cardboard. The two other antenna connections had broken wires, and am not sure where they were connected. The magic antenna was in bad shape and one of the terminals broke off their post. Will the RCA service manual of the K60 (I'll order the caps and the service manual from justradios) contain info on how to string the dial and assemble the dial plate? I can't really figure all this out completely.

Thanks.
