Radio Help

Ok so i just got this 86 E300 and i have been trying to get the radio to work i searched and searched and notthing with my problems came up. so here whats wrong and what i found out i figured out what wire is what and what has a postive feed so i pulled the radio out and checked the fuse in the back (it was blown) so i go ad buy another one and still didnt come on i check the fuses under the hood still good but i replaced that one as well . so i checked the volts on the wires red gave me a 12V charge purple did not?? black and yellow did. so i ran a hot wire to the purple thinking that would fix it. it lit up where the tape goes but notthing else??? and while i had this hot wire i connected to the atenna that plugs in the radio and the attenna worked finally so im out of ideas what it could be any advise would help thanks.

I don't know for sure ! But most of the radios I have installed are about 5amps!
