Many thanks for all the messages of support; I really appreciate them.

Ran the tubes across the Hickok 539C this evening.  Good thing I was
buying all of those $1 - $2 tubes in the flea market; I needed to
outright replace eight of them, including the 6DC6 and all three of the
6C4s.  Reckon the receiver might actually work now ; )  Found a 6AB4 in
place of the 6C4 in the third mixer socket.

My first technical question for the list:  how the heck does one remove
V207 without removing the slug rack and camshaft running across the top
of the tube shield?

regards,
