1962 series 62 power antenna issue

The power antenna on my 1962 doers not go up or down, currently it is all the way down. I have tried having someone push/pull the radio knob while i try to pull on the antenna but it wont move. While pushing/pulling the radio knob, I do hear a clicking noise from the radio but that's it. When I'm in the city, I can pick up an AM radio station even though the antenna is all the way down.
Where should I start looking for the problem?
Thanjk you.

Push IN the tuning know to make the antenna go up, pull OUT the turning knob to make the antenna go down.
If pushing the knob does nothing, check the two-wire connector to the antenna. It is usually hanging down under the blower motor. Take the connector apart and clean it and then make sure it is tightly reconnected.
If that does not solve the problem you may need to get the antenna rebuilt. Cadillac Tim, a regular on this forum, can provide this service.
