The site may have timed out on your long post. I believe it is 15 minutes or close to that and if it sees no activity ie selecting a different post or forum it logs you out. You can get in the habit of doing a preview of your longer posts periodically and that keeps the login active.
Look in the literature section under wire diagrams and Radio sheets. Item 18 is sort of an owners manual for the 23rd radio which is very similar to the 22nd. It may be enough to get you familiar with operation on yours Look at item 38 and I believe that is for the 22nd but is more a repair info than owners info. If you can find the PA number on your radio you can see if we have any of the proper items.
On the vacuum antenna it depends on how the seals have fared. There is a leather seal on the piston and another at the top around the antenna mast. Those could have dried or cracked. Hoses also have to be in good condition. Vacuum comes from a tee connection in the hose just before the wiper motor, Feeds the center port of valve. Each valve end port goes to a fitting on the side of antenna at top and bottom. Typical Packard operation is pushing knob in should lower, pulling knob out raises.
