UPDATE: The radio is a half homebuilt wooden box w lots of leads. It was powered, had speakers attached. There was another harness that had been cut. Its been unplugged and packed.
The antena tho ... we got issues.
First, I've not verified that its not powered. Might need to crawl an attic. Trace some wire.
Second, this thing is a construct. Three poles w glass insulated wire strung between. One pole bolts to the house right where the power comes in. If the tree lost a branch and snagged the wire, and that bracket failed, it could take out their power.
I have some precarious work to do this summer.
