It's not just a matter of some tube sockets being replaced. The power supply, detector and audio stages have been heavily modified. Between the hacked in 6.3 VAC filament transformer, rotting rubber wiring, replaced controls and dozen or more components that are simply gone, I just don't see any reason to deal with it. Especially since I already have another unmodified 90 chassis.
