OK, maybe you can remove all the old guts and do some magic and put new
guts (from a donor radio) into the old case?

Hi Scott. what I would like to do is use the original radio and
replace all the tubes with solid state. I have built a few stations
over the years so it can't be that hard.

If worst comes to worst, that is what I may do.
