Re: AMC Radio Testing

Connect it up directly to the battery, hot lead to the POS post, clip a wire 
from the NEG post to the chassis of the radio thereby you will ground it. 
Connect an antenna or as somone said use a long piece of wire stuck into the 
antenna plug hole. Turn it on. If you have a battery eliminator, usze it in 
place of a battery. Don't try a battery charger.
