OK,

So I figured if it hisses and buzzes, it probably seeing some RF, so I simply switched it to the left-most which I figured would be Broadcast and, without any antenna (I have a strong local that all my radios see without any aerial) turned the gagng.....boy did it sing! Nice, clean, loud. The selectivity is very sharp. You can barely turn the shaft and the station's gone.

I am still not sure how antenna is connected. There are two inputs and they look symmetrical. Does anyone know exactly how the antenna is connected to the real panel's terminal?

Magnetic tuning also seems to function.

And I did not even replace the output 6A5 tubes which I bought, but I figured the old ones should work, and if they do (which seems to be the case), I will retain the new ones as replacements.

Woo-hoo!

Now it is remains to be seen how it sounds when put in the cabinet in the evening when the real music is broadcast.
