Just my 2c but the 84 rectifier tube should be replaced by two 600V rectifier diodes and a power resistor. Cheap insureance for your transformer.

I had to buy those wine-colored pushbuttons and an audio output transformer for a 40-195 I restored. Antique Radio Supply has those buttons and they do look nice lit up!.

There is a new generation 84, that looks like a 6X5GT, but with the 5 pin base. They also made a 41, the same way.
I worked on one that looked like the transformer had been replaced. The previous tech changed the socket to use a 7Y4, instead.
The older couple, that owned it, bought it brand new and mentioned how much they paid for it and the store name.
