Why?  That will destroy the historical-technical provenance of a unit that
I suspect will **not** be employed in any useful application afterwards.

They were employed extensively in temporary installations for aircraft
ferrying operations.  You'll find a note on BC-1206-A and -B models stating:
"NOT TO BE REMOVED BY FERRY PILOT OR OTHERS EXCEPT UNDER ORDERS OF UNIT COMMANDER".

FWIW:  AF output tubes that were used in the BC-1206-series:

BC-1206-A (early)  2 x 25L6GT  
BC-1206-A (late)   1 x 28D7
BC-1206-B          2 x 25L6GT
BC-1206-C          1 x 28D7
BC-1206-CM         1 x 28D7
BC-1206-CM2        1 x 28D7
BC-1206-D (early)  2 x 25L6GT
BC-1206-D (late)   2 x 28D7
