OEM radio antenna wiring connections

I知 in the process of getting my old radio working again and found that the antenna connections to the board have been ripped out. I managed to solder 3 new wires to the board and am not 100% sure where they go. I知 assuming 2 are for the coax cables for the 2 antennas. Not sure about the 3rd and my trial and error has not worked out.

if anyone has as old unit lying around and can have a look it would be appreciated(should not matter if it is a Bose or non Bose). It痴 a long shot but in thought I would ask.

Thanks!

I知 so not good at electrical stuff, but could the 3rd simply be the power lead? The antenna only went up when the head unit (not CD) was powered.

The 3 wires are related to reception only as they go into the 2 antenna leads coming out of the corner of the unit. The main harness has the power antenna controls. Everything is working on the radio except there is no AM/FM reception. Though this would be an easy fix. Famous last words...

The board could also be damaged but before I dig into it I wanted to confirm the wiring.

I have a working Bose radio that is missing the ***** and the cassette door that you can transfer from your existing radio. You can have it for just $50 plus shipping. PM me.
