It should be a very sensitive receiver. The pentode mixer with separate oscillator is low noise and works better at SW frequencies than does the 6A7 pentagrid converter which is more common. Also, two IF amps gives all the gain and selectivity you could ask for.

The tubes are amongst the first with 6 V filaments and must have been intended to promote car radios. So they're probably mechanically rugged.
