there is a 12-volt DC version of the strap-on-the-back power supply,
that would also be helpful but not necessary (I plan to run it from a
110-VAC inverter if I have to).

But your inverter will almost certainly be
solid-state, which defeats the whole purpose
of the all-tube rig!

My hope is that the heavy-duty power components in an inverter will
withstand an EMP better than the signal-level components in a radio.

Of course many modern inverters have low-power control circuits to
control frequency and such, so my analysis probably fails on that
score alone.

I still don't have this all thought out completely, yet.
