Nice find, I just restored one of those and I can tell you it will belt out some sound. I paid 125$ for mine and needed out put transformer , recap, dial, you get the picture. To me was well worth the effort . Once refinished and new grill cloth installed it will look wonderful . With a good alignment the short wave is outstanding. Very sensitive to say the least. Very very nice unit. Heres a few pics of mine.
