The UX-201A and Silvertone 01A will work in this set if they're OK, and I believe you can use the 71A for the audio output tube. Just run a continuity test with your ohmmeter on the large pins of the tube and if there's continuity, the tubes are probably good.
I've got one like this, in my "to do" area, had for several years and haven't touched it yet. In much better shape than yours. But I paid $40 for it! It has a complete set of Sylvanias in it all with paper stickers, globe type tubes, look original.
The single knob tuning in these sets required that they gang three tuning condensors together with a metal band. In some of these sets, the condensor pulleys were pot metal and expanded and then crumbled away, breaking the band. Some later sets had brass pulleys. I drew up plans somewhere for making new pulleys and there are plans on the web. Also, there are pulleys for sale out there; I think Antique Radio Supply had them, not sure, but they were pricey. When I ever get around to fixing this set I will probably make my own somehow. These sets are pretty simple and it's mostly mechanical problems, bad connections, open transformers, corrosion down through the eons, etc.
Have fun with it.
