Personal choice: I wouldn't do that for Command Sets
or for a BC-348. Not just price; 
Performance is not a priority for my military sets. 
I have plastic, "Barbie radios"for DX 
and other such mundane pass-times.
But would be very interested in that option
in the case of unobtainable tubes, such as the 
1930s U.K. "Valves" used in the TR9D rig.
So am following your thread, with thanks
.
I have this file on Google Drive I put there
a long time ago just to save it. It's marked:
"SolidStateTubes" or something like that. 
Here's a link:

I seem to have trouble getting it open, so not
sure what's in there. Maybe it's something useful....
