The only thing about this radio that isn't that great is the BFO. It is practically useless for receiving voice SSB transmissions. It was obviously designed for use with CW code transmissions. As a shortwave program listening receiver, it is excellent and I've had good results with mine using a 12 foot piece of wire run along the floor.
Also, there is no line fuse in this radio. When I got mine, a replacement line cord had been poorly spliced in by hand (no solder) to the tube socket and the wire covered with electrical tape. I completely diassembled that radio, did a full cleaning and restoration and corrected a few hack repairs in the process. Now it is on its second fifty years of reliable service.
