Thanks to all. I will go with "the ultimate antenna" - http://socalradiowaves.com/columns/am_antenna.html - that I happen to have around.

On another note, I powered up the chassis and heard background hum but no reception. I ran the tubes through my tube tester, and they came up as "OK" (but not great). My next step is to clean the range switch, as this thing has been sitting unused in a basement for many years. I did manage to free up the push-button switches that were all stuck. Unfortunately, the cabinet and faceplate are not with me - the owner is in the process of refinishing the cabinet - so I don't know what the positions are on the range switch.

Mike
