I hear U. Fortunately, the mod can be rather well disguised with spaghetti, heat shrink, etc. (Heck, if one has modern caps and resistors exposed, this is nothing. For authenticity, correct B+ voltage and slow B+ rise, I leave the 80 / 5Y3/etc. rectifier in.

Let us know how you make out after the resto. Looks like a neat radio, what with the 42s in Triode mode, AB2 I suppose. Really nice looking chassis and cabinet!
