Hello and welcome Sam,

The connector is what's known as a wander plug, but at least for trial purposes you wouldn't need one - stripping a short length at the end of a few feet of wire, bending it back on the insulation and pushing it into the hole would work well enough, and bring in a few stations on a decently working set, along these days with a lot of interference.

Having said that, very possibly the radio hasn't seen much use for years, and almost anyone here would advise against plugging it in at all before conducting a few basic tests. Even if the radio were to work to begin with it might well stop working, and suffer serious damage, within minutes of powering up, for want of one or two small components being changed first.
