Take some sage advice from an old guy. Don't try to convert these set to use AC tubes. There are alot of differences between the 2.5 or 6.3 v tubes verses the directly heated 2volt battery tubes. At the time that set was produced it was probably the best farm set around. One rf amp two if amps and transformer couple push/pull triode output stage. It covers up to 18 or so which was nose bleed territory back than.
I saw the listing and thought about bidding but have too many project as is.And finding a cabinet for it may be a bit tough as most folks would use a spare for the 44 rather than the battery set.
