If you can cobble together the right pots and a tuner subber it should be possible to run it...It may even be possible to find compatible tuners with channel wheels the right size and build up a new tuner cluster that could pass for the original. Could be a fun engineering game.

One nomenclature nit to pick. AFAIK there was no CCI just CC and CCII. CC was found on hybrids (and a few of early production SS sets) so I would not use it as a SS identifier. CCII was on both the flat chassis SS and the vertical chassis SS sets, but never the hybrid sets.
