RADIO VACUUM HOSE ROUTING-1954 Series 62

[Marty Roth]

The radio in my 1954 Cadillac Series 62 has vacuum ports for three (3) hoses. 

 

The person who pulled it apart to replace my wiper posts and cables did not note which hose went to which port. Now there is a leak, and the foot button does not seek the next station.

 

Please help to identify hose routing, and/or to point me to a schematic.

 

Thank you,

 

Marty

I've found the answers to this question. These are two separate issues.

The foot button operates the seek feature electrically via a connection at the bottom of the radio, and likely was not connected.

Of the three vacuum ports. the center nipple receives engine vacuum; the two outer ones supply vacuum to the vacuum-operated antenna to raise of lower it when the knob is used.
