This will be a fun project. In the rear chassis photo I see a mica across the grid leak, which needs to be added to the schematic. A perusal of old catalogs from that era shows cabinets and blank front panels available for those that had the few extra bucks. I think 01A's will work fine in all positions. On stronger stations it will operate a speaker with moderate volume using both stages of AF. It's an example of a pretty good project some guy probably thought over a long time, planning it, looking in catalogs, finally ordering all the stuff, having fun building it, and then fascinated, logging in distant stations. There was many a bleary-eyed morning after he was up fishing for DX all night.
