I might think about using them in this case since it's a model 514 and not a dead common model 511, still it's not as though you can flip the lid up on a hinge and display the tubes like you can with a Radiola 60, it's still like a steel bread box. I would have a look around in this shed to see if maybe someone removed the tubes for testing and forgot to put them back, you may hit paydirt and save a few $$$.

Just to let you know-I finished mine up pretty much today.I had trouble but with the 26's plate voltage gone missing,turned out 1 of the new RF bypass caps were shorted,replaced and now working pretty good,gotta neutralize it still because it tends to get garbled on strong stations.Restuffing the cap can was not that bad to do.
Thanks to Terry for the assist!
