The chassis has three terminals marked red, black and gnd. Was there an antenna in the cabinet, or was it sold seperately?

I had one of these sets as well. No internal antenna, however the previous owner, an old engineer with WGN Radio in Chicago, custom built a loop that surrounded the bottom of the cabinet. It looked and worked quite well. If I still have photos of the set I'll post so you can get an idea, maybe build your own.
