I need something that is all tubes, and works well on SSB. I plan to use

important (it should work on AM but doesn't need to be a spectacular
performer).
It does need to be general coverage 500 KHz to 30 MHz.
Hallicrafters SX-122 or SX-122A. Nice 50 KHz last IF
with selectable sideband and appropriate AGC.
OTOH, It's not that hard to do single-signal CW and SSB
with an R-390/391/392 on the 2 KHz bandwidth setting.
