Re: Packard rotary antenna

The antenna lead connects with a slip on connector around the shaft. Perhaps that piece is missing. Jerry at Yesterdays Radioyesterdaysradio.com/ reproduces the plastic pieces. Perhaps he can give you an idea on the other item.
This photo is a Packard photo showing how and where it is located in prewar Packards. You can barely see the clip but can see the wire attached.
As further illustration, if you will download Yesterday's Radio 2012 catalog, on page 12 there is a typical antenna breakdown photo illustrating the lead in connecting piece nicely. Many mfgs used similar antennas so there may be slight variations.
