So, today I connected the radio to ARBE, connected the GND to an outlet's GND, used a piece of wire for antenna (I do not have a really long one) , put UX-201A in all 5 sockets, connected the "E" AK speaker and started the radio.
There was some weak noise, looks like RF, then at some position of one of the tuning caps the radio started generating. As if it were a sinewave sound oscillator. The other two tuned circuits would make it louder, the potentiometer could make it weaker or disappear.
I spent overall 20 minutes with it, but no station, just that whistle.
Good news is, the speaker and the amp work.
I think I will try to put BC band modulated signal through, see what comes of it.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
