I hope this means your intentions are to get this set working perfectly in it's original configuration , and then when it's working perfectly as designed you will consider any modifications ? Restored correctly , the circuit will function as it's manufacturer intended , and that should be the baseline from where any modifications to the power supply are considered .
Myself , I'd restore it to what I'd call 99.5% original , I'd leave all the tube circuits alone modification wise and use a modern diode (with resistor) in place of the Selenium (which would remain on the chassis but with both of it's wires run to a terminal strip)
As you've already noted , this set has no power transformer to roast , so there really is no need to play "hot potato" with the 6X5 here .
