It appears to be a “pre-oiler system” and would add oil to the top of the cylinders.

I’m digging in for more info.

It must mean the engine is in like new condition!
 
Most of the ads I have seen were from 1953... nearly 20 years BEFORE my 1972 Cruiser was made... now its over 75 years later.

I do think it is filled with Marvels Mystery Oil. I think it was tied into the emissions control box, the more I dig the more fascinated I am becoming with it.

eBay has them for sale... but they are proud of them!
 
I would be happy to throw Cape Fear Electronics into the game if you need any electronics help. That 08600-00013 radio may have some issues. If you get it here I will make it go. My wife is a retired teacher. Thank you for taking your time to do this.

Here’s what I’ve got left, the whip is broken off/missing.

That looks like a correct mounting location. IIRC, the mast itself was one of those non-springy 3 or 4 section expandable type that everyone had back in the day

Thank you. I’ll try to source a simple whip and pop it in there. It’d be sweet to listen to some FM on the OEM stuff.
