I was just looking at the schematic of the 51-934.
Then I looked over at the shelf where Debbie has put some of the radio she has bought for her collection of plastic and bakelite radios...and, lo and behold, there was a 51-934!
It looks like the dual leads should connect to terminals 1 and 2 (FM), and the single lead should connect to terminal 3 (AM). The original setup had a wire connected to terminal 1 that connected to a piece of metal that wrapped around the AC cord, acting as a capacitor to make the AC cord act as an FM antenna. This setup works okay on local FM stations, but isn't much good for DX.
