Fifties
I think Terry (Radioroslyn) has covered this quite well.
This cabinet was originally used for models 65 (there is no 85), 87, 76 and 95 as well as model 40 (DC only). The 96 is a 1930 model and was not offered in this cabinet originally.
Of those, the 95 will give you the best bang for the buck - 9 tubes and AVC. The 76 is decent. The 87 works surprisingly well considering what it is - a lowly Neutrodyne with triode RF amplifiers. I have no experience with the 65 even though I've had a metal table model 65 kicking around here for years; I have not yet tried to get it going again. With only two tetrode RF amplifiers, I wouldn't expect a lot of performance from this set.
All of these 1929 models (65, 87, 76, 95) use two 45 output tubes.
