Hallicrafters SX-42

A couple of gents dropped this off in my driveway, this weekend. I looked briefly at the schematic and saw that is a 6L6GT power tube. I now have three amps with that tube.

As a kid, I was a DX'er of mostly MW but my little buddy had a Zenith Transoceanic and I always fired up the set when I visited him. It still seems like magic....

I haven't fired the Hallicrafters up, yet. I am going to do a little researching before I put the juice to it. Any particular things that should have a closer look? If anyone has antenna preferences, I'd like to hear about that, also. I do have a VHF TV antenna mounted, that is not being used.
