If you are not familiar with antique radios, you should know that the safety of these radios is not up to modern standards. For this reason, I recommend you leave the radio unplugged or on a power strip that can be turned on and off when not in use. I do this with my own radios. Use the built in antenna for reception or a long wire (there is a connection wire on the back of the chassis--see photos). NEVER USE A GROUND WIRE ON A AC/DC SET. The chassis on a AC/DC set is also considered "hot" and you can get a shock if you don't know what you are doing, so please don't try to service this radio yourself. Having said that, you should have a good working radio if you purchase this set, though the electronic condition is not guaranteed. It is warrantied that it will not be "dead on arrival," however.
