They are indeed used, after all why would I buy a new tube for a really screwed up chassis that is also somewhat miswired?
It seems to me used 43s are prone to pos 3 (HK) short.
The radio is DELCO 4052 ACDC.
Now you tell me looking at the sch if you have it, if the filament of the 43 is essentially the Line (hot) after the dropout resistor and the Cathode is Common Negative (GND isolated from Chassis) which is 50 Ohms from Neutral, if the short is low ohms will it work?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
