does it come on at all?
I'd be careful powering it up, something may catch fire*. I'd inspect and bench it first.
Antenna won't affect the radio operation just the reception.

I don't like to say this but some of the old stuff simply is "shot" and not worth fixing. Even if you get it fixed/working, chances are something else will fail in it at some point in the future and parts will be harder to find.
