Can someone post a picture of a connected antenna to a vintage receiver. I have a Sansui 5000a. I have read a few posts on explaining how to do it but have walked away more confused.

Have no pic to show, but if you know the impedance of your FM antenna, it's fairly simple (to a semi tech<GG>)
You have 2 sets of 3 vertical screws.
For a 300 ohm twinlead antenna, the 3 screws above the switched max 50VA A/C outlet (right set of 3 vertical screws)
the antenna downlead should be attached to the top 2 screws. Rabbit ear antennas are 300 ohm (usually)
For a 75 ohm antenna, connect to the top 2 screws on the left set of 3 terminals (above the unswitched A/C outlet)
If you have a screw in coax at the end of the antenna, you can get a wire adapter, or get a 75 ohm to 300 ohm adapter
and connect to the 300 ohm pair of screws.
