Need a new receiver

Good idea, it ripped off at the top of the Antenna Tube, so I would be able to solder it. Once I solder it, should I shrink wrap it? I lost the part that hangs from the top, so how long of wire should I solder on? I'm assuming a longer wire would be better.

No, the longer wire is not better. An antenna has to be in tune with the wavelength of the signal received.
