The last one you show is the broadcast band (AM).

The shortwave reception is split across the first three bands you show.
The low end of the first shortwave band likely also receives some modern AM channels.

If you're getting static things are basically working (the speaker, power transformer is intact). But like I said you're asking for trouble to leave it powered on at this point. Even though it appears to (sort of) work now it could easily stop working in its current condition.
