radiola 3, period correct modification

So I tend to lowball a bunch of stuff on ebay and then forget about it, its how i aquire most my radio pieces. Well it seems ive won a decent looking radiola 3, though its in the longer radiola 3a chassis. Its missing the bottom panel, but oh well. Since theres no tubes, i was thinking about using some cx299's i have. The dealers of the period had factory issued instructions on how to modify your radio to use them, so it would have enough output to drive a speaker.

Perhaps using a blank sheet of bakelite i have to cover the open portion of the top of the chassis. Then add a volume and a 1/4" jack to that side.

Well, what do you guys think?
