Default Stupid Questions - Unelco Model 1914 Radio

Ok, I have a bunch of stupid questions. I have an old Unelco short-wave
radio from when I was a kid. My son now wants to play with it... Does anyone
have a manual for one of these old things? Or at least know how to set it up
and use it that can give me some pointers? It doesn't have an antenna any
longer but I'm sure I can use some wire right? If so, how long should it be
and what type of wire? Will any 2 wire pair work? It also has the number 5
coils (9.4 - 17.8 mHz ) in it. I don't have the others but I remember it
working pretty good with them.

Sorry for the stupid questions but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jon.
