Mark your right, get it working first. I do believe you have a chassis that might have a few of the tube covers and bases. I gave you a replacement chassis for your rusty one. You may have to dig in to find it. As Mike indicated the metal tubes should be fine for getting it running. No way I would wish to leave them in there long term. That is a nice radio and should look proper. I do have one tube shield I will bring over.
Good luck on it and planning a trip to AZ. City.
Best, Jerry
