Hello..my first TV

The task continues...
Main chassis is on the bench. Check the tubes, clean things up and get to work on the guts.
First thing I notice is the HV rectifier doesn't look right. All documentation calls for a 1B3. Pretty big tube. What's there is not. It is a 1X2B. Since I don't think this tube was even thought of when the set was made, it can not be original. The retrofit appears to be very well done and I suspect the set was probably functioning fine after the modification was made, so you think I should treat it as original and just continue on with the recap and other work?
