Well FX welcome to "Old Timer's" radiofun...
I would first say it needs run through the tube tester...
Then by the sounds of things, might need a few caps changed...
Not uncommon for a receiver 60+ years old....
Looks nice well worth saving if your so inclined...but don't expect a 60 year old+ receiver to sound and work as well as a new one unless your willing to spend some time on her....
And as good as that RX is it will NEVER be that good on 10m...it will work but it will never be really good....
15m and 20m will be fair to good....40m and down is where she will "shine"
They need a really good antenna to make them "shine"....but a coat hanger or a "hunk" of wire will make them work...
And like a lot of receivers from that era, most antennas did not use coax they used ladder line and tuners...
Hence a lot of gear from that vintage and older had a 300 Ohm antenna connection blocks on the back and secondary might be an SO239...
Oh yes one more thing....radios that "Glow in the Dark" can have a nasty Kick to them...be careful where you put "things"
All the Best
Gary
