One of my first loves was antique radio.Even before I found 
Coco. A 1926 RCA is a TREASURE. If it is physically in good 
shape dont change a thing. If you really want it to operate 
and dont want to or cant get tubes then re-do the circuitry 
in solid state I.E. JFETS , Hide the new circuitry in the 
case somewhere (Fake Battery Pak),keep the tubes but only 
power the filaments.

If it were mine I would not do this unless the set was in 
very bad shape, but if you just gotta make it "play" then 
consider the idea!
