Anyways I ended up selling it to someone locally that used to be a producer for one of the local TV stations over in South Bend, Indiana and he has it as a decoration in his mancave/museum for old Broadcast TV and TV memorabilia.
The HV rectifier tube is a rather common 1V2. The horiz out and the damper is rather uncommon and the 10C8, which was used in that set alone.
I bought those tubes from ESRC from the dollar menu.
