This may be the case for the 1920's sets...they are so robust with very few components and if you supply the proper power supply voltages and an antenna and ground they will likely work (they won't do anything without antenna and be very weak without ground)...
Most times though on sets from the 1930's to the 60's there really are other problems such as bad caps...sometimes bad IF cans can stop reception even if the set has power.
Remember that most old radio sellers are general antique dealers or flea marketers and are not technically knowlegeable about them...you need to buy with the expectation that most old radios will need some repairs to be fully functional.
