Re: AMC Radio Testing

+12V onto the power wire.  BTW, if there is an ORANGE wire coming out (like 
on the 67-69 radios) that's JUST the light, ignore it.

Connect ground to the metal case.

A wire shoved into the center hole of the antenna plug will work as the 
antenna or you can use a real antenna.  No antenna ground necessary.

There should be a two wire plug hanging off the radio (green and brown wire 
probably) hang a speaker across those two wires and your all set. Turn on 
the radio and see if it works.
