I recently purchased a 40-140 early model table top with the original back. I have found it to be rare to find them with the back on them. When I started to take it apart I found that the wire wound antenna on the back was covered with paper and had the part number 38-9978 on it. What was the purpose of this paper. There was a wire connected to the paper on it was all still intact. Also on the top of the radio there seems to be another antenna that has a snap on button to connect to the wood frame. It also has a part number of 38-9893 on it. Is this common is is this an add on. It also says it was built to recieve TV sound. How was this accomplished?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
