I recently purchased a Philco Model 20 from a local Salvation Army store.
I powered it up with a dim bulb and variac to be safe. It has audio with no hum associated with bad filter caps and it doesn't smoke (a good thing)
but it's not picking up any stations. Not bad for something 83 years old.
It has a wire for an antenna.
