Not sure exactly what you are asking. Sets built before about 1940 require an external antenna connected to them. After 1940 or so sets had loop antennas which where built into the cabinet and didn't need an external antenna.
If you are asking why your set doesn't work when an antenna to the ant post at the back corner of the chassis. It's likely that the antenna coil inside the set is open and needs a small section rewound. Troubleshooting with an ohm meter will tell the tale.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
