Really easy.  Process COMPLETELY non-invasive.

Pull VT52s & Key B+ to the BC-230(430) with a relay

Key up, p-s sinks to 5000 ohms, key down the '230 gets the juice...
mechanical regulation,

Ratchet out all L in C301 / 80m plug.  Put variable C in series w.
output link terminal to cancel link's Xl.  Use qrp tuner
to run it up to 10w in.

As GI appliance, never did "icw." TX intended for mcw & never ran "icw" 
in P26s, P36s, etc.  But it seems not to care.

There's another "converting the BC230" art'l in a '58 CQ.  Reminded
me of the recipe for carp where you nail fish to board & bake
@ 500F for some time.  Then remove, discard carp remains, & eat board.
