power it up, factory connector helps, connect antenna, and any good 10 ohm speaker should do..

do NOT turn it on without a speaker or regular 4 or 6 ohm modern speaker..

this is where I found out about it and fortunate I didn't kill the factory radio in the '65

suggest you read this about vintage radio and speakers first..
