I acquired a 1961 Grundig Majestic SO-160 radio/amp/phonograph.

We cleaned it up and plugged it in (I know, risky).
The record player does play (https://youtu.be/0GWInB7UOok).
I was able to play a record and very briefly tune into a radio station.
I have not since been able to tune anything in on FM.
Should I get an external antenna? What kind?
It seems to have short wave radio - is that still a thing I can use? It has all the countries listed on the front tuner.
It's missing one of the side speakers and the center speaker - will need to figure out how to replace those. There is no pad on the turntable, but it still works.
Which forum here should I post this to?
Thanks for the advice.
