i just completed restoring my Philco 40-180 and I noticed that if the onboard antenna and ground were not connected, no sound, not even static came from the radio.
I am now working on a Victor RE 45 from 1929. If not connected to ground, will I get any sound (including Static) from the radio? I have no ground attachment in my shop and before I go to the trouble of installing one, checking with those more knowledgeable me, just how necessary is ground connection.
