So, first off, I replaced the selenium rectifier with a 1N4007 diode and 147 ohm resistor (a 130 ohm one is already there).
Then today after having received the tubes from Kirk, I powered the radio up.
147 ohm proved to be too much and for the time being I removed it altogether.
Then I was wondering about no sound until I remembered the phones switch.
Then the BC band came alive.

The radio sounds very nice even out of the cabinet.

Alignment tomorrow.
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.
